County
Cork is Ireland's largest county and has a wealth
to offer the visitor. Cork has a history that
goes back for hundreds of years and there are
traces of civilisation that date back to the Stone
Age. In many ways it can be seen as a microcosm
of the history of rural Ireland. It is in an excellent
location for your stay in Ireland as the prime
tourist attractions of the Lakes of Killarney
and Blarney Castle are all nearby and Cobh (formerly
Queenstown), the port where many Irish emigrants
boarded for their voyage to the United States,
Australia, Canada, New Zealand, or South Africa
and also the last stop of the Titanic, before
departing on its doomed journey. The city of Cork
is the second largest city in the Republic of
Ireland and capital of the province of Munster.
