Just Passing Through
We get a lot of tourists here in County Cork, here to see our beautiful Irish countryside. Unfortunately, not many of you choose to stay for a while in our town! Most visitors are usually just passing through, looking for fuel services or at most a quick cup of tea and a stretch of their legs, while they drive on to the next big tourist destination. But you all don’t know what you’re missing…
Glanmire is a typical pretty little Irish town; think Ballykissangel and you’re not far away! Though don’t tell my neighbours that I said that, as most of them hate being compared to the fictional TV village. We have a great local pub which usually has live traditional music on the weekends. And there are lots of walking routes in the nearby hills. One of my favourites is to make the short walk to Lough Mahon, a nearby lake which is a great spot to take some photos and have a picnic.
We’re just on the outskirts of Cork, really, so you could even visit us for a day trip if you’re staying in the city. Everyone will make you really welcome and you’ll get to experience a bit of the real Ireland away from all the usual tourist traps! After all, if you’re going to come to Ireland, you might as well see how us real Irish live? Of course, most of us live up to a lot of the stereotypes; overly cheerful, love the Guiness and can sing along to any Irish folk tune a guy can play on the fiddle.
So, if you happen to be in Ireland, near to Cork, don’t just drive through Glanmire on your way to “somewhere else”. Stop and say hello!
