Located in southern Ireland, Cork is the biggest county on the island and is part of both Ireland’s Ancient East and the Wild Atlantic Way with over 1000km of coastline. Set in a beautiful coastal environment the city of Cork’s maritime history spans over a thousand years with its natural harbor. Not far from the city is Blarney Castle, a medieval stronghold that houses the famed Blarney Stone which is thought to give the “gift of gab” to all those who lay their lips on it with a kiss.
