 Monkstown,
Glenbrook & Passage West are three closely-knit
villages side by side along the harbour R610 route. Monkstown is
well known for its excellent 18-hole Golf Course, deep-sea
fishing, sailing club, marina, restaurants and pubs. The Cross River Ferry
at Glenbrook, conveniently links the Owenabue Valley with East
Cork, Fota Island & Cobh
which has magnificent scenery and heritage
centres.
Travelling onto the old maritime town of Passage West, the visitor
will sense through exploration the importance this town assumed in
times past. It is from here that Captain Roberts set out and
crossed the Atlantic in the first passenger steamship, "The
Sirius". Following along the path of the old railway line, a
scenic walk affords the visitor excellent views of the inner
harbour
