The County Cork region
The main features of County Cork include the long valleys of the River Blackwater, the Lee Valley and the valley of the River Bandon, with most roads generally following the river valleys. The county of Cork covers just less than 3000 sq. miles and the capital of the county is Cork City at the mouth of the River Lee.
In the county the last census indicated a population of just over 420,300. This amounts to roughly 12% of the Irish population. The northern part of County Cork has high mountains and is totally different in character to other parts of the county. The western part of the county is a highly popular tourist area, with its many miles of coastline and spectacular scenery. The populated islands of Cork are also located off the West Cork coastline. The islands are very special places and are well worth visiting for a day visit or longer break. Cork is also a notable and important dairy county.
Ireland is the most north-westerly country in the European Union and is approximatley 480 kilometres long and 305 kilometres wide. It is often battered from the west by the Atlantic Ocean and lapped from the east by the choppy Irish Sea.
Ireland's climate is influenced by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, and is in the path of the prevailing southwesterly winds coming from the Atlantic Ocean. This makes for equitable conditions over the whole country and means Ireland is never exposed to extremes of weather.
