Continue past the airport entrance on the N27 towards Kinsale. After the airport this road becomes the R600. Turn right at Bowens Cross which is the third junction to the right and the first which has roads to the left and right. After turning right the road reaches Lios Cross after around 1000 metres. Immediately before the crossroads there is a small amount of room to park on the left. Good views of the runway and approach with excellent photography.
