IN marketing terms there are two major property brands in the south: West Cork and Kinsale. Their recognition factor is internationally high, so much so that if they were products the town and region would be Guinness, or even, Kerrygold.

However, there are other less high-profile spots in Co Cork where the views are stunning, the coast impressive and the peace and quiet formidable.
