Halfway (Irish: Leath Slighe) is a village in County Cork, in Ireland. Halfway got its name from being situated approximately half-way between Cork City and Bandon.
The village is situated close to Ballinhassig, on the L2231, and is just off the N71.
The Ramble Inn Bar and Lounge host an annual Halfway Vintage Rally, which is an annual meeting of vintage car owners and lovers. The club meets for this annual event every September, and is based over a weekend. A parade of vintage vehicles is usually conducted through the village, and on the Sunday, a drive is completed, where members drive to a pre-designated location, have lunch and return to the Ramble Inn for celebrations.
Halfway formerly had two pubs; however, there is now only the Ramble Inn pub. There is a shop/petrol station in the village. Much of the village has seen a boom in development over the last few years. The Ballinhassig Garda station is also located in the village. There is also a fishing shop in the area.
Road bowling is sometimes played on the national road between the villages of Halfway and Ballinhassig.[1]
There are several Ringforts in the general area.
