An Nead · Co. Cork

A small north Cork upland village. The name means "the nest." The landscape explains why.

Nad is a tiny village in the Boggeragh foothills of north Cork, between Millstreet and Mallow. The Irish name — An Nead, the nest — fits the setting: a hollow in the hills, sheltered, quiet, surrounded by upland farmland.

There is nothing here for the visitor in any conventional sense. The walking is good if you know the routes. Millstreet is 15km west, Mallow is 20km east. The village functions as a parish, quietly and without fuss.
