Bishopstown Hillwalking Club | |
| Welcome to our
Website... Bishopstown Hillwalking Club is one of the largest walking Clubs in Cork and in Munster. Most of our members are not actually from Bishopstown but from all over Cork City and County. We hold walks most weekends. If this is your first visit to this site, then read down through the page and select from the menu at the end. |

Walks - Depart Melbourn Business Park car park , Model Farm Road. This place is about 300 metres on the city side of where the Tennis Village used to be. Please do not obstruct the entrance to Pinewood Studios furniture store as they open on Saturdays and some Sundays. Times = 8.30am for A walks, 9am for B walks, and 9.30am for C and D walks, unless otherwise stated, weather permitting.
Car-pool available. The normal practice is €5 per passenger for short journeys (up to 50 miles) and €10 for medium journeys (50 miles +).
Only FULL CARS should go to the start area of the walks so as not to upset the local landowners & others too much.
If you require further information on any walk, or wish to pay deposits, please call in to meet us in Poachers Bar in the Kinsley Hotel, Carrigrohane Road, Cork, after 9.30p.m. on any Thursday evening. (Opposite the County Hall)
Remember.......No B.H.C. card / M.C.I. card / name on B.H.C. membership list, NO GO !!!
In other words, if you
