Information About

West Cork




The town of Bandon is described as the "Gateway to West Cork". Generally only points west of here begin to be considered as West Cork.

The area is notable for having been linked together by the Cork, Bandon And South Coast Railway , which began in Cork city, travelled across the county, with branches to Clonakilty (Jnct. at Gaggin ) and Skibbereen (Jnct. at Drimoleague ), before terminating at Bantry . The closure of the railway is still a grievance for many in the area. Nowadays the main infrastructural backbone is the N71 Route .

Other towns in West Cork include Dunmanway and Macroom (perhaps the most northern area described as West Cork).
