Driving Lessons in Union Hall
Single-track roads, steep hills and harbour driving
The road between Union Hall and Glandore is barely one car wide with stone walls on both sides. Meeting oncoming traffic means someone reverses into a gateway. There is no other option. This is normal driving in Union Hall.
Leaving the village means climbing a steep hill from the harbour. The road north rises sharply with tight bends. Hill starts on this gradient are unavoidable and stalling is not an option with traffic behind.
The coastal road south to Castletownshend is narrow, winding and hemmed in by hedges. Blind corners are constant. You learn to read the road surface, listen for engines and use hedge gaps as mirrors.
Our EDT driving lessons in Union Hall cover all 12 mandatory lessons on local roads. Whether you need automatic lessons or pretest preparation for Skibbereen Test Centre, view our lesson packages or call 021 2355558 to get started.
