Multi day walk

Date for your diary
🇮🇪Cork Ireland 🇮🇪
Thursday 3rd September to Monday 7th September.
Three walks, Mallow, Ballycotton Cliff's and Cobh.
Mallow walk 3/9 miles
Train from Cork to Mallow 25 mins
FIP fare € 2.50
This figure of eight walk takes us along the river path through the town and castle gardens before returning to the town (3miles). The remaining six miles are on lanes and a section on The Blackwater way (long distance path) through a forest. We pass a Aldi around 4 miles so can grab lunch from here if required.
260m climbing but nothing steep. 90% on tarmac.
Ballycotton cliffs
6 miles
FIP €1.95 bus was €8.60 return.
Train to Midleton 25mins then bus or minibus to Ballycotton. Only one bus returning at 16.55.
An easy cliff walk. Will reverse it on the day so we do the tarmac section first then return along the cliffs.
180 m of climbing, nothing steep. 50% on tarmac.
Half hourly service Midleton to Cork.
Fota to Cobh.
6 miles
Train Cork to Fota.
FIP €1.95.
Walk begins around the grounds of Fota house & gardens. Red squirrels and a Tiger spotted. We cross Beverley bridge on to the Island. Small section along a busy road. Unfortunately this walk is all lanes & roads, two steepish hills as we cross over the Island before our decent into Cobh. 160m climbing.
Half hourly service back to Cork.
I have just stayed at the Premier Inn at Cork. 20 mins from the Railway station.
Anywhere around the town would be suitable.
Airport was €20 in a taxi, a bus is available.
I've had a quick glance at flights not that much at present. One going out from Birmingham in the morning but returns early back from Cork, Ryanair. There's two back to Bristol with Air Lingus.
