Cork Area Suggestions
-
Hi guys,
Apologies if this is the wrong section of the forum – I couldn’t spot anything that might be more relevant.
I’ve moved to Cork from the continent and I’ve a few days to kill this week with some time off and most unpacking out of the way. No car for another week or two, so I’m wondering does anyone have any suggestions for somewhere nice for landscape shots outside of the city?
Anywhere by public transport plus a maximum of 20km round trip walk would be great – I was looking at Killarney park in Kerry but i’m not sure how far it is from the centre of Killarney town. Ideally I can keep it to the Cork county.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated :)
I think your idea of Killarney national park is the way to go, you can get the bus or train possibly down and be in the heart of park within hour and have endless photographic opportunities. Other than that maybe an early morning bus to Bantry would give you a nice day out if the weather was good.

Fota Island is a nice place.
The Great Island..Cobh like 8)
I myself live there and would be more then glad to show you around. I could actually do with a photographic trip…time is the only problem here.Gougane Barra in particular is a place worth visiting. You can get a bus from Cork to Ballingeary. From there it’s a maybe a 7km walk to Gougane. You can generally hitch from the village if you don’t feel like hoofing it.
Cheers,
