Aghlish is a quiet town in County Cork in southern Ireland, situated on the edge of the Golden Vale, about 25 kilometers from Cork City, and known for its untouched natural beauty and rich Irish countryside. Its vast pastures, meandering Sullane River and rolling green hills are typically idyllic, and the surrounding area can be explored on foot at the 12th-century ruins of Ballinderry Priory, or half an hour's drive to the picturesque seaside town of Kinsale. The area retains its traditional folk culture, and in summer hosts open-air concerts and markets where visitors can sample authentic Irish stout and fresh seafood. Although not a popular tourist destination, the simplicity and pristine ecology of Arglish makes it an ideal destination for experiencing the slower life of the Emerald Isle.
