Ireland's

South West

Coast

a truly unique destination

Nowhere else is the rugged and beautiful landscape more
stunning than the South West of Ireland. Its many bays, inlets

and coastline views are simply awe-inspiring. Mountain and
forest landscapes with flowing rivers, waterfalls and glaciated

lakes make the South West the most visited region of Ireland for
its beauty alone.

This part of Ireland was one of the main areas for emigration to

the United States of America. On January 1, 1892, Annie Moore, a
teenager from County Cork, was the first immigrant processed

at Ellis Island. She had made the nearly two-week journey
across the Atlantic Ocean in steerage with her two younger

brothers. Annie later raised a family on New York City’s Lower
East Side. Where Annie led over 1 Million Irish followed to the

‘land of opportunity’. It is often said the next parish from the

West of Ireland is Manhattan.
