Crossbarry Neighbourhood Guide
Cork
Crossbarry is a small rural locality in County Cork, situated west of Cork city between the villages of Ovens, Halfway and Innishannon. It lies in a largely agricultural area in the Lee Valley hinterland, with Cork city and the towns along the N71 providing access to broader services. Crossbarry is also associated with the River Lee and the historic Crossbarry ambush site.
Area character
Rural and low-density, with a quiet countryside setting, one-off housing and small settlements nearby. The area suits residents seeking space and access to the city and west Cork rather than a village-centre lifestyle; everyday services are generally found in nearby Ovens, Halfway, Innishannon and Ballincollig.
