The Story of Co. Cork

Ireland’s largest county, Cork, Corcaigh, stretches from rich farmland to a deeply indented Atlantic coast, long the realm of the MacCarthy kings of Desmond. At Kinsale in 1601 the old Gaelic order suffered its decisive defeat; at Blarney, its famous castle still draws visitors to its legendary stone; two threads of a county that wears the title “Rebel” with pride.
