Kilworth (Gaelic: "Cill Úird") is a small village in North Cork.

Geography

Kilworth is located about 2 kilometers north of Fermoy and is situated near the river Funcheon. The N8 main Cork-Dublin road passes nearby.

Many non-Corkonians will possibly know Kilworth for its Army Camp, located on the main Cork-Dublin road between Mitchelstown and Fermoy.

ights and Tourist Attractions

Kilworth castle is a Norman castle, visible from the N8. It is in a bad state of repair & is currently no longer accessible to the public (for safety reasons).

Kilworth Arts centre is an intimate theatre venue in the centre of the village. It was previously used as a Protestant Church.

Kilworth (Glansiskin) forest is located about 1 Km from the village centre. This is an ideal setting for enjoying the outdoors, particularly walking and mountainbiking. The river Douglas flows through this forest - it does not contain any fish worth catching, but it is a nice river for the kids to paddle in (even if a bit cold).

Economy

Teagasc has an agricultural research facility based at Moorepark, just outside Kilworth.

Kilworth is within commuting distance of many centres of employment, including Cork city.

In 2007 it was announced that a new prison will be on part of the lands formally owned by the Irish Defence Forces.

History

The name Kilworth comes from Irish (Gaelic) 'Cill Úird', literally meaning 'Church of the order'.
