The R597 road is a regional road in Ireland. It is a loop road from the N71 on the Haven Coast in west County Cork.[1][2][3] The road forms part of the Wild Atlantic Way.[3]
The R597 travels south from the N71 at Leap to the port village of Glandore.[1] After Glandore, the road travels east and passes the megalithic Drombeg stone circle.[3] It rejoins the N71 at the town of Rosscarbery. The R597 is 10.2 km (6.3 mi) long.[1]
