EDITORS COMMENTS
Carrignacurragh Castle and Murphys Ford, Inchigeelagh, Co. Cork: A Hidden Gem of the Emerald Isle Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Inchigeelagh, in County Cork, Republic of Ireland, lies the enchanting Carrignacurragh Castle. Surrounded by lush greenery and hidden from view by the overgrown vegetation, this historic castle is a true gem waiting to be discovered. In this photograph, taken circa early 1900s, we see a breathtaking view over the water towards the castle and Murphys Ford. The ford, a natural crossing point, adds to the charm of this idyllic scene. The crystal-clear water reflects the vibrant colors of the surrounding foliage, creating a mirror-like effect that adds to the serene atmosphere. The castle, which dates back to the 15th century, is believed to have been built by the McCarthy Mor clan. Its strategic location near the ford would have made it an important defensive structure in times of conflict. Today, it stands as a testament to Ireland's rich history and cultural heritage. The village of Inchigeelagh, located in the beautiful valley of the River Ilen, is known for its stunning natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. This photograph captures the essence of the area, showcasing the perfect harmony between nature and history. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or simply someone in search of a peaceful retreat, Carrignacurragh Castle and Murphys Ford are a must-see destination in County Cork.
