Powdermills 2024

Within the park is the gunpowder mills complex with the network of sluices and canals that were installed in the grounds and used in the manufacturing process, along with most of the original buildings. Gunpowder was manufactured on the site from the 18th century to the start of the 20th century. From here it was transported to Cork city and the Port of Cork for supply to the British Armed Forces worldwide.
