Myrtleville
Seaside village in County Cork, Ireland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Myrtleville (Irish: Baile an Chuainín, meaning 'town of the small harbour')[1] is a small seaside village in County Cork, Ireland. The village lies within the townlands of Ballinluska and Myrtleville, just west of the entrance to Cork Harbour.[2] Myrtleville has one grocery shop, a pub, and a restaurant.[3]
18th and 19th century records of the local estate houses associate Myrtleville House with the Daunt family.[4][5] One of the other waterfront properties, Bunnyconnellan, developed around a cottage from 1824, operated for several decades as a restaurant, bar and a hotel[6] until its closure in 2022.[7] County development plans, including from the 1990s,[8] allowed the building of modern houses with limitations ensuring the protection of the village's character, such as only allowing one-storey houses plus attic. Crosshaven rugby club has its sports ground at the top of Myrtleville hill.
The beach at Myrtleville is used by swimmers all year round,[9] with frequent fundraising swims organized.[10][11]
