About Cork    

Cork is the largest of all the Irish counties, and in many ways the most varied. Rich farmlands and river valleys contrast with the wild sandstone hills of the west.

Built in 1446, Blarney Castle houses the renowned Blarney Stone. Millions of visitors come to the castle each year to kiss this stone and receive the magical eloquence legend has it that the stone bestows.

It is an export centre for the agricultural produce of the south, and the many industries in the city include brewing, distilling, hosiery, flour milling, bacon curing, clothing and footwear factories.
