Duhallow

Ireland

Duhallow stretches across north Cork's fertile valleys between the Blackwater River and Mullaghareirk Mountains foothills. The N72 runs east-west through the region, linking Mallow to Killarney, while the R576 and R577 wind through smaller villages perfect for exploring rural Ireland. From Cork, take the N20 north to Mallow, then the N72 west into Duhallow's heart. You'll need a car as public transport is sparse, and EV drivers should plan charging stops carefully with only three fast chargers about. Don't miss Doneraile Court's massive 19th-century mill wheel, Ireland's oldest still working, grinding grain after 150 years.
