Delightful Fernwalk has easy access to the city

GREENFIELDS in Killumney, Co Cork, which might have been described as out in the sticks, is now less the Flintstones and more the Jetsons with the Ballincollig bypass whizzing past its imposing gates.

It’s been described as a virtual design book and consequently, is prone to the odd Sunday-spinner, looking for ideas for their perfect home. And you’ll get them all here and in every shape and size, except small.

Right down at the back of the estate, in what would once have been the corner of a field, is a small cul-de-sac of detached houses built by O’Flynn developments.
