Location
West Cork is situated on the
southcoast of Ireland between Kinsale and Ardgroom and is the
most south-westerly part of Ireland.
Sparsely populated (County Cork has a population of over
450,000, but more than one third lives in the city of Cork, and
only 50,000 approx. in West Cork) it is the ideal place to
relax.
From east to west the region is 130 km wide and 100 km from
north to south.

Climate
The West Cork climate is very mild due
to the influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the warm waters of
the Gulf Stream.
In Summer, sea breezes keep land temperatures moderately cool,
while in winter severe frost is extremely rare.
Mean air temperatures range from 6°C in winter to 15°C in
summer.
The south-westerly winds often bring soft oceanic drizzle.
