Baltimore is a charming little fishing village in County Cork. Based 15km from Skibbereen, the area is renowned above all for its exceptional bay, as well as for the traditional know-how of its inhabitants, experts in fishing and boat building.
Downtown Baltimore is rather pleasant, with its houses with colourful facades, its pubs and cosy restaurants.
In terms of activities, Baltimore is particularly interesting for tourists who like sailing, fishing and discovering the countryside. Baltimore has also become a very popular place for scuba diving, mainly due to the number and variety of wrecks in the bay, including a World War II submarine (the U-260 ).
Its traditional music festival called “The Fiddle” takes place every May and honours the fiddle, a typically Irish instrument… On this occasion, many concerts are organized all over the city: great to share a good Craig with friends or family!
Baltimore is not only famous for its music: it is also famous for its boating! Thus, many sailing and yachting schools offer to spend good times at sea!
Whether it is the time for a walk, or a real training, the village is the landmark of all good sailors in love with sailing and other boats! Don’t hesitate to ask for more information, but be careful: the rates are generally high!
