In Cork you’ll discover quaint villages and towns, meandering rivers and rolling hills, and a city of long tradition and cultural heritage.

Rich agricultural resources and its prime Atlantic location saw the city’s rise to international importance in the early modern period, a world of landowners and wealthy merchants, of colonial expansion and rebellion. During the mid-18th century, the renown of locally-produced butter saw traders export the commodity to northern Europe, Iberia, North America and the Caribbean. Today, locally produced butter remains an important resource for consumption, export and as an ingredient for our biscuits.
