An area of wild and beautiful scenery, this magnificent Forest Park covers over 137 splendid hectares (339 acres). It is tucked in a lush valley at the edge of the Sheehy mountains, where the River Lee rises, flowing to Cork Harbour approximately 89km away. Steeped in history, there is a tiny island at the edge of the lake at the entrance to the Forest Park where St. Finbarr, patron saint of Cork, founded his early Christian monastery in the 6th century. Many people come here to get married in the tiny oratory.

Mary is a gem! The pacing of the tour was just what we needed to relax and enjoy every moment and Mary’s encyclopedic knowledge of everywhere we went was astounding. We absolutely loved her she felt like she was part of our family, just so much fun. definitely book in with Mary you won’t regret it it’s worth every penny!❤️
