Bandon, River and conservation area in County Cork, Ireland
The River Bandon flows through a valley formed by Carboniferous Period rocks, extending 64 kilometers from Maughanaclea Hills to Kinsale Harbour.
The river valley contains remnants of ancient settlements, including the ruins of Ringrone Castle positioned on elevated ground near the water's edge.
The river supports traditional salmon fishing activities, maintaining connections between local communities and their agricultural and maritime traditions.
Visitors can access multiple points along the riverbank for fishing, with specific permits required for catching salmon and sea trout.
The river follows an unusual curved path around Inishannon before transforming into an estuary that connects with Kinsale Harbour.
