Make your way to the Bay... and make hay

THERE’LL be plenty of puffing activity outside this unusual west Cork property offering today — it is placed on the last mile back into Clonakilty on the town’s inaugural Waterfront Running Marathon.

Hundreds of fatigued runners taking part in the half and full Waterfront Marathon are due to slog their way along this stretch of Clonakilty Bay’s shoreline, just where the causeway links up with Inchydoney Island. Over 1,000 runners had, incredibly, signed up for the three gruelling late winter races (mini, half and full marathons) taking place around the Clonakilty coastlines beaches and backroads — weather permitting.

Wrapped up well against the cold is this unusual Clonakilty bayside offering — a rescued old traditional farmhouse, embraced by a just-added on contemporary four-bed home in a bright, open contrasting style.
