Holidays in Bandon
Posted on | August 8, 2011 | 2 Comments
So the summer has flown and this week is a frenzy of finishing up work, packing and getting ready for our hols. We’re leaving Bandon for Espana for a couple of weeks. Whilst we’re gone, my brother, his wife and their three fabulous daughters shall be using our gaff as a base for their West Cork holidays.

I’ve decided to make a list of “Things to Do and See in and around Bandon” for his family, keeping in mind that the children range in age from 6 years oldĀ to 9 months.
This is what I’ve come up with so far.
- Clonakilty Model Village and train
- Inchydoney beach
- Playground in Clonakilty
- Playground in Bandon
- Garretstown beach
- Charles Fort in Kinsale
- Whale in Kilbrittain
- Playground in Timoleague
- Nice flat walk from Courtmacsherry to Timoleague along the inlet, suitable for bike rides
- If weather is terrible and you feel like a day trip, I would recommend the Aquadome in Tralee and stop on the way in Killarney National Park. Great playground there. Aquadome good fun. Driving there takes about an hour and half.
- Cinema in Clonakilty
- McCarthys Maze Trail in Kilbrittain
- Fota Wildlife Park
- Bandon Skate and Play
So what have I missed? I know there’s plenty more but nothing else is springing to mind at the moment so any suggestions would be most welcome!

Thanks for the twitter suggestions of Fota and Bandon skate and play which I had completely overlooked.

Speaking as said mother of 3fab children (thanks!) we did practically everything on the list and enjoyed it all…definately back to cork next year..so easy and all they need is a bit of sand and some rock pools and they are in seventh heaven….can also recommend warren strand in rosscarberry…lovey beach with toliet facilities and great rock windbreak half way across the beach…amazing easy day spent and even got a tan! Ta!
Fota was also the best ever…lots of omg’s and awesomes”!
