Introducing Western Cork
The area covered in Western Cork includes Kinsale, where postcard-perfect scenes of winding streets, tiny houses and yachts bobbing on the sea set the tone. A few hours southeast is Clonakilty, known for its bustling market and tourist-friendly atmosphere. The area from Clonakilty to Skibereen is peppered with picturesque villages - Skibereen itself being a salt-of-the-earth, warm-hearted place, while the coastal town of Castletownshead has a small quayside, a castle and a whole lotta peace and quiet. Perhaps the pride and joy of the county, and not to be missed by any traveller this way passing, is the Gougane Barra Forest Park with its beautiful vistas of craggy mountains, pine forests and sparkling streams.
