Rosscarbery is a small
historic town set in picturesque surroundings overlooking a
sandy inlet of the rugged West Cork coastline. The town grew up
around a monastery, which was established by St. Fachtna in the
latter half of the sixth century. It is now a peaceful place
with an attractive Square and nicely decorated buildings with
traditional shop fronts. The wide variety of amenities for young
and old within walking distance of the town make Rosscarbery an
ideal tourist centre.
For those who just want to relax, the Warren Beach,
Ownahincha Beach and the Long Strand offer safe bathing and
golden sands. The more energetic are spoiled for choice with two
links style Pitch and Putt courses at the Warren Beach, or
golfers may improve their swing or putting at the local Driving
Range.
At the Marine Leisure Centre, pedal boats, rowing dinghies or
canoes are available for hire in the safest of surroundings and
sailing lessons are available - whilst the children's playground
and tennis courts are just nearby.
Visitors may experience the beauty of the area on horseback

Agricultural Museum. For the angler, Rosscarbery offers estuary,
rock, deep sea and fresh water fishing - with bait in plentiful
supply. The Lagoon and estuary are great favourites with bird
watchers as large numbers of duck, waders, sea and migratory
birds are to be seen.
For the archaeologist, there are numerous megalithic tombs,
stone circles and standing stones in the area - Drombeg
being the most famous. For the historian there are many places
to visit - such a s St. Fachtna's Cathedral, Castlefreke,
Coppinger's Court and birthplaces of
Gen. Michael Collins and O'Donovan Rossa to name but
a few. Local tour guides will be only too happy to tell of local
history and folklore. Rosscarbery is a walker's paradise, with
lots of quiet rural lanes running through scenic countryside
with breathtaking views of land and sea.

enriching experience. There are many reasons why Ross is not
quite like any other place - it begins with the people. All this
