Town and location of object

show on map

Glandore, the jewel in West Cork’s crown. One of the most unspoiled villages in Ireland with spectacular views over Union Hall Harbour and out across the Atlantic Ocean. Cliona’s Wave Cottage offer the ideal base to relax and enjoy the surrounding countryside of West Cork and South Kerry. The Cottage is named after the keening sound the ocean waves produces at times. Legend has it that in the distant past a love-sick young beauty was tragically drowned here and the intermittent keening of the wave is her ghostly lament. A more prosaic explanation is that, in certain conditions of wind and tide, the keening sound is produced by the wind echoing in the crevices and little caves hewn by the waves in the cliffs. But why accept a prosaic solution when the other is more romantic and more in tune with alleged belief in banshees, leprechauns and other goblins.

Glandore , Cork , Ireland

Cuan Dor - Harbour of the Oaks - is one of the prettiest villages in Ireland. Its position, in the path of the Gulf Stream ensures a mild climate all year round, consequently its flora is diverse and of great interest, as plants are found in bloom here, out of season. Because of its location, Glandore was one of the earlier settlements in West Cork. The Norman's came and built two castles in 1215. They were later taken over by the O'Donovan and have been inhabited continuously up to the present day. The very attractive Church of Ireland (built 1860) with its quaint entrance gate, through the rock is a much photographed feature. An important event in the development of Glandore began in 1824, with the arrival of James Redmond Barry. He was a very philanthropic landlord, who developed the fishing, got the pier built as well as a boatyard in Union Hall. He established schools to teach fishing and domestic economy. He built a hotel (The Glandore Inn) in 1828 and organised the first Regatta in 1830. A school was built in 1835 as well as an Agricultural school at the model farm in Ards. Despite his efforts, Glandore was one of the worst hit areas in West Cork, during the Great Famine, losing 45% of its population. William Thompson, the philosopher and one of the first Socialists, is another famous name associated with Glandore. Glandore, at present is a very popular port of call for the yachting and boating fraternity, having some excellent restaurants and hostelries.
