About the Business

Welcome to Mass Rock, a unique and historically significant institution located in the heart of Chimneyfield, Co. Cork, Ireland. Our establishment is a point of interest for anyone interested in learning about the rich cultural and religious history of the region.

What is a Mass Rock, and why is it significant? During the 17th and 18th centuries, when Catholicism was outlawed in Ireland, hidden locations known as Mass Rocks were used for clandestine religious ceremonies. These sites represented a powerful symbol of resilience and resistance against religious repression. Today, Mass Rocks remain a vital part of Ireland's cultural heritage, and our establishment is dedicated to preserving and promoting their historical significance.

Visitors to Mass Rock will have the opportunity to explore our museum and learn about the unique history of the site. We offer guided tours that will take you through the museum, exploring the significance of the different historical artifacts and exhibits we have on display. Our knowledgeable guides will tell you all about the history of Mass Rocks, as well as about the people who risked everything to keep the practice of Catholicism alive during a difficult time in Irish history.

Mass Rock is not just a place to visit; it is also a community. We offer regular events and activities throughout the year for visitors of all ages to engage with our history and culture. Our community events include Mass services, musical performances, and cultural festivals that celebrate Irish heritage.

Located in the stunning countryside of Co. Cork, Ireland, a visit to Mass Rock offers a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and connect with a history that is both powerful and enduring. We invite you to visit us, learn about our incredible history, and become a part of our vibrant community.

"2 parts to the Mass Rock / famine walk. Very short walk down to mass rock. Historically gorgeous & relaxing to sit or picnic by the river. On the opposite side of the road is a 2km ish walk - famine walk. Follow the grass path, over a small bridge, take a left & then follow the line of the river. Up over the steps. Follow the river again. There's a narrow steel gurder "bridge" to over the river. Head up the trail along the farmers fence/ditch to the 2nd oldest consecrated holy ground in Ireland- famine cemetery. Beautiful scenery along the way. Buzzards, river trout & other native Irish birds & wildlife & mud!!! Great funny. Not Suitable for buggies. Dogs on leads at all times. I would highly recommend it."
