Baltimore in Co Cork has been named the best place to visit this winter by a UK newspaper - despite having a population of just 400 people
The charming village of Baltimore, nestled on the south coast of west Co Cork , has been crowned the "best" winter getaway by The Guardian.
Baltimore holds a special place in history, once revered as a haven for druids and linked to the ancient Irish festival of Bealtaine. Its past is deeply intertwined with the sea, marked by events such as the Sacking of Baltimore in 1631 when pirates abducted many villagers.

Today, Baltimore is a haven for watersports enthusiasts and anglers alike. Visitors can wander through the oldest parts of the village, where a 13th-century castle and traditional fishermen's cottages line the eastern shore of the harbour. The area is also rich in prehistoric sites and shipwrecks waiting to be discovered, reports the Express.
