Cork (Classic Reprint): A Short Survey of the Attractions and Holiday Facilities of Cork City and County

Excerpt from Cork: A Short Survey of the Attractions and Holiday Facilities of Cork City and County

Cork is the largest County in Ireland, comprising an area of square miles, or roughly one-eighth of the whole country. Its coast, washed by the broad Atlantic, stretches from the mouth of the Blackwater at Youghal to Glengarriff in Bantry Bay, beautiful every mile of it, so beautiful indeed, that Colonel Lindberg, in his heroic solitary flight from New York to Paris a few years ago, when passing over the Cork coast was so impressed that he afterwards declared: i the scenery of the South Coast of Ireland was the most wonderful thing I ever beheld. In this he was confirming the repeated judgment of poets, writers and travellers of every generation.
