Great view of cliffs, you'll need a car to get there. It's nearby town of Kinsale, which would be a nice day trip.

Transport
Own transport is best. Taxi is also a good option, book via Uber or FreeNow (App). Walking is a little awkward, as there is a stretch of the road with no sidewalk. Cork city is about 5km away. There is a bus from Glanmire to the city. Public transport is not amazing in Ireland in general.
