County Cork

Cork translates from ‘Corcaigh’, meaning ‘marsh’. The city is located on an island close to where the River Lee flows into Lough Mahon. The county is known as the “People’s Republic of Cork”, a title derived from the region’s front-line role in the Irish War of Independence. Its highest peak is Knockboy in the Shehy mountain range standing at 706m.
