The County of Cork situated in the South West of
Ireland is the largest of all the Irish counties and in many ways the most
varied. Rich farmlands and river valleys contrast with the wild sandstone hills of the
west, and above all there is the magnificent coastline scooped and fretted by the Atlantic
into great bays and secret coves, strewn with rocky headlands and long soft golden sands.
Strange as it may seem, this is territory which is relatively undiscovered, and completely
unspoilt. Its villages and resorts are mostly unsophisticated, but lively
and friendly in their own special fashion, and very welcoming to strangers who come to join
in the fun.
