Region: County Cork is full of truly breathtaking natural beauty. With unspoilt beaches, historic castles, and modern visitor attractions, there's plenty for all ages to absorb and there is always plenty to see and do in County Cork.

Town: Located in Western County Cork, six miles from the shops, pubs and restaurants of the market town of Skibbereen, Baltimore has many attractions for its visitors. Experience some incredible whale watching by chartering your own boat – dolphins have been known to get in on the action too! There are many shipwrecks in the bay, a reminder of the historic incident when Baltimore was attacked by Algerian pirates. Wander around the recently restored O'Driscoll Castle, or stroll up to the famous local landmark of Baltimore Beacon - also known as Lot's Wife. Baltimore is an unmissable holiday destination, which also offers the chance to explore the inlets and creeks of Reengaroga, Sherkin, and Carbery's Hundred Isles.
