Audio Guide of Corrin Hill

Corrin Hill is a historic cemetery open to the public during daylight hours. It does not have formal ticket office hours, but visiting from morning until sunset is recommended. To get there, you can drive to the top of the hill, just outside Fermoy, where you will find a small parking area.

No, access to Corrin Hill and its historic cemetery is completely free for all visitors. It is a public space maintained by the local community, so you can enjoy its views and history at no cost.

Most visitors spend between 30 and 45 minutes exploring the cemetery and the views. If you plan to take photos or simply enjoy the panoramic landscape of Fermoy and the surrounding area, you may want to stay a little longer.

Corrin Hill is famous for being the site of a Victorian cemetery with historic graves and an imposing obelisk commemorating the Travers family. It is also associated with the 'King of the Beggars,' a local legendary figure, which adds strong cultural interest.

Spring and summer offer the most pleasant weather and the longest days for enjoying the views. To avoid crowds and see spectacular lighting, consider visiting at sunrise or sunset, when the light turns the County Cork landscape golden.

Access to the top of the hill is mainly on foot or by vehicle. The cemetery terrain can be uneven and sloped, which may present difficulties for wheelchair users or people with reduced mobility. Comfortable footwear is recommended.

You are in an area rich in history. We recommend visiting nearby Fermoy Castle, strolling through the town center, or exploring the beautiful natural surroundings. County Cork is full of castles and spectacular landscapes.

Always wear comfortable, sturdy footwear, as the ground can be uneven. Keep in mind that there are no restrooms or shops on the hill, so come prepared. Finally, and most importantly, respect the graves and the site, do not leave litter, and enjoy the historic peace.
