Clonakilty is famous for two important Cork products. Firstly, it was the birthplace of Michael Collins, a matter of extreme pride to the community; a statue of the Big Fella stands on the corner of Emmet Sq. Secondly, it’s the source of the best black pudding in Ireland. It features on many local restaurant menus and you can buy varieties based on 19th-century recipes from Edward Twomey (33733; www.clonakiltyblackpudding.ie; 16 Pearse St; puddings from €2.50).
