The River Bandon is a 72 km long river in County Cork, Ireland.
The Bandon rises at Nowen Hill (one of the Shehy Mountains), to the north of Drimoleague. The river then flows to Dunmanway, before turning eastward towards the twin villages of Ballineen and Enniskean. It then makes its way through the centre of Bandon town, and on to Innishannon and Kilmacsimon, before draining into Kinsale Harbour on Ireland\\\'s south coast.
Tributaries include the Sally River and the Brewery River at Dunmanway, the Small Blackwater near Ballineen, and the Bridewell River at Bandon. The river is crossed by a total of 15 bridges (including two footbridges). There were also four railway bridges, one of which is still intact (on farmland near Dunmanway). The remains of the others—near Murragh, Bandon, and Innishannon—consist only of abutments and/or piers, with the spans having been removed.
