A short drive from Cork City Center there are many little towns along the shore. Each town has its own unique charm but all of them adorn streets lined with shops and cafes. We stopped in for a visit in Baltimore on our way to Killarney.

This town is full of rolling hills with cows and sheep peacefully grazing and beautiful water views. Of course no town in Ireland is complete without a castle and this town has a castle with interesting history of pirate invasions.
