Fountainstown ({{Irish place name|Baile Mhóntáin}}, historically anglicised as Ballymontane)[2] is a coastal village in County Cork, Ireland, situated approximately 23 km south of Cork city. A seaside village, it is separated by small promontory headland from the nearby village and beach at Myrtleville.

Places of interest

As a seaside village, Fountainstown's Blue Flag beach overlooks Ringabella creek to the south.[3][4]

Close to the village centre is Fountainstown House, a stately home which was originally built by the Roche family - a Norman family may have acquired lands at Fountainstown in the 15th or 16th century.[4]

Fountainstown's pitch and putt club is sometimes considered to be the home of the sport's first course,[5][6] and described by the European Pitch and Putt Association as the origin point of "modern day organised competitive Pitch and Putt".[7]

The coast road between Fountainstown and nearby Myrtleville is used as a walk or promenade.[8]

Transport

Fountainstown is served by a number of bus routes, with 12 services a day to Cork, each operating via Carrigaline and Douglas, and several services operating via Crosshaven.[9][10]

The nearest airport is Cork Airport.
