Transition Year Packages

Cuskinny Court is a victorian woodland estate on the outskirts of the historic and beautiful town of Cobh on Great Island, County Cork, Ireland. Based on Cork Harbour, we are conveniently located within a 25 minutes of Cork Airport, Cork City and 5 minutes from Cobh Train Station.

Cuskinny Court’s natural hideaway boasts excellent facilities – our specially designed eco-adventure activities have been specially developed to get transition year groups back to nature and learning how to have their own adventures together. We develop days that facilitate friendship forming, team building, pure fun and adventure!

We can provide a full programme of land and water based activities as well as accommodation & catering / self-catering options.

We are now taking bookings for 2021. Save on bus fees! Get special group rates with Irish rail and we will organise a minibus to collect small and large groups. Call Us on 021 242 8868 or Email us!
