Kanturk is an
attractive market town in north west County Cork, located about 50
km from Cork City, Blarney and Limerick City, and lying just north
off the main N72 road, 15 km from Mallow and about 40 km from
Killarney. The town is built where the rivers Allow and Dalua meet,
before joining the River Blackwater.
Kanturk is a town steeped in history, nesting quietly in the shadow
of a magnificent 16th century castle that has become a recognisable
landmark for Kanturk and its surroundings. The castle is now the
property of An Taisce, the National Trust of Ireland. The
interesting bridge in the town dates from 1760.
Recreational facilities in Kanturk include an 18 hole Golf course,
driving range and tennis courts, while shooting and fishing prove
very popular in the locality and attract enthusiasts from all over
the world to the nearby River Blackwater. Kanturk has several good
restaurants and many bars, a 3 screen cinema and a beautiful
riverside park with a children's play area. |
