East Cork
Sweeping westwards from Youghal, through Midleton, across to
Cobh, the marvels unfold - dotted like jewels across the county.
Situated at the entrance to County Cork from the east lies our
town of Youghal.
Continuing westwards, the traveller will find the picturesque
village of Killeagh, and Glenbower Wood. On through the countryside
to Castlemartyr and Ladysbridge. In Cloyne is to be found St.
Colman's cathedral and the monuments to the Fitzgeralds, Bishops
Berkely and Brinkley.
Follow on to Garryvoe and beautiful Ballycotton Bay. To Midleton,
where the old Jameson Distillery may be visited. Barryscourt
Castle at Carrigtwohill, the seat of the lords of Barrymore.
On to Cobh where the wonderful St. Colman's cathedral dominates
this beautiful port.
The Queenstown story, Cobh's Heritage Centre tells the story
of the tens of thousands of Irish emigrants who set out by sail
and later by steam to seek a new life in North America.
Cobh will also be remembered as the last port of call of
the great Titanic.
Forget not Fota Wildlife Park - here you will see over 70 species
from all five continents. Giraffe, zebra and antelope roam
freely past bird-filled lakes, monkey islands and flamingo
pools.
Mount Mellary Cistercian Abbey, Lismore and its Castle are
all nearby.
