Ballyfin

Ireland

Ballyfin sits 25 kilometers east of Cork city along the N25, making it a handy stop between Cork and Dublin. You can take the R630 through Midleton or the coastal R629 for harbor views. The area's well sorted for electric cars with about 40 fast charging stations around the eastern suburbs. Nearby you'll find Trabolgan's waterpark, decent golf at Fota Island and Castlemartyr, plus whiskey tours at New Midleton Distillery. The town's 19th-century limestone church has a massive spire you can spot from kilometers away on the N25.
