Clonakilty

West Cork's colourful food town, famous for black pudding, traditional music pubs and its Thursday farmers' market.

Clonakilty is the central market town of West Cork, with brightly painted shopfronts lining its streets. It has won European awards for its charm, including a Best Kept Town accolade. The town is famous for black pudding, and Twomey's butcher shop is a nationwide favourite.
