Sallybrook is a small settlement folded into the Glanmire suburban sprawl east of Cork city. It sits in the valley of the Glashaboy River, which once powered mills and small industry. The industrial buildings have mostly gone or been converted.
It's residential now — close enough to Cork city for commuters, far enough to have a sense of the valley landscape. Glanmire village proper is nearby with more services. Cork city centre is about 8km west.
Off the N8 east of Cork city, through Glanmire. Follow signs for Sallybrook.
