Millstreet Country Park
Date Added: 17th Sep 2010
Site Type: Museum
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Cork)
Visited: Yes on 19th Mar 2010
Millstreet Country Park submitted by Andy B on 19th Mar 2010. I suppose that Millstreet Country Park should be described as a theme park, its theme being the wildlife, archeology and history of the area. It must be unique in that its entrance is around 390m up a mountain. After you enter, you must drive around 2Km and drop about 180m to reach the visitor centre. The photo shows a recreated crannóg, a prehistoric dwelling on an artificial island, just one of the delights of this wonderful place.

Mount Sadahurip
Date Added: 4th Apr 2012
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
