Waterfall is a small south Cork village in the hills above the Lee Valley, south of Cork city. The name comes from a small cascade on the local stream — modest by any standard, but enough to name a place after. The village has grown steadily as a commuter settlement for Cork city.
There's a pub, a church, and a GAA club. The landscape is still agricultural at its edges. Cork city is 10km north. Kinsale is 18km south. Waterfall sits between them without strongly pulling in either direction.
Off the R600 south of Cork city. Well signposted from the main Cork-Kinsale road.
Cork city bus routes extend to the area.
