Description

The world-renowned Lee Valley is one of the most beautiful landscapes that Ireland has to offer. Our destination is the source of the River Lee in the Shehy mountains. In this wild and beautiful scenery of Gougane Barra, the Lee flows from the lake of Gougane Barra and St. Finbarr the patron saint of Cork first founded his early Christian monastery in the 6th century. The legend says that he left to walk the river valley, at the mouth of which he established a monastery, which is now the site of St Finbarr’s Cathedral in Cork City. This route is steeped in Cork history and you will pass over Béal na Bláth, the site of the ambush and death of the Irish revolutionary leader Michael Collins in 1922. You will track the river Lee as it meanders into the Inniscarra Lake, a man-made reservoir formed in the 1950s and on to Macroom and the Gearagh,a submerged glacial woodland and nature reserve, where the river Lee descends from the mountains. Time permitting you may fly over Cork city, where the Lee splits in two for a short distance, creating an island on which Cork’s city centre is built before it empties into the Celtic Sea.
