Ireland, land of the welcomes, invites you to County Cork

Here the River Lee widens to form Lough Allua. There is a lake drive all around it and it's a pleasant place for walking, by the lake and in the adjoining hills. There is an old penal 'Mass Rock' near the roadside close to the village.

311. Kanturk

A market town set astride the Dalua and Allow Rivers - Spenser mentions them in his 'Faerie Queene'. Just outside the town is the huge shell of a fortified house, Kanturk Castle or MacDonagh's Court, i.e. MacDonagh MacCarthy, the local Irish chief. The story is that when the English Privy Council heard of the elaborate structure, they decided 'it was much too large for a subject' and had the work stopped.
MacCarthy, in a rage, scattered the blue glass tiles which were to roof it. So there stands, almost five centuries later, still unfinished, but firm. It is now the property of An Taisce, the National Trust for Ireland.
