From the City Centre travel along South Mall to the bridge and then turn right (passing the City Hall on the left) continue along Anglesea Street and pass through 4 sets of traffic lights. Continue past St. Finbarres Hospital (on the right) and then at the traffic lights take a left turn through Bellair and then a right turn onto the Ballinlough Road. Go past the Ballinlough Church and then take the second turn to the right onto Beechwood Park. Continue past the school (on the right) and at the bottom, following the left turn, take an immediate right to the access road to the swimming pool and the Ardfallen Centre. Park in the car park by the swimming pool and the church complex is on the left. Alternately, from Penrose Quay, continue south over the bridge, pass the Custom's House, cross another bridge and keep straight, then a right and a left onto the South Link Road. A short distance along, having passed the petrol station, take the slip road to the left leading on to the Boreenmanna Road. Continue straight at the traffic light junction with Wallace's Avenue and then take the second right turn onto Willow Lawn. At the top of the hill turn left and then at the next traffic lights turn right onto Beechwood Park (and then continue as in the paragraph above.) |
