The Glen, Cork, Residential area in northern Cork, Ireland.
The Glen extends across a hillside, featuring social housing estates near Glen River Park, which follows an ancient glacial valley formation.
W. and H.M. Goulding established a phosphate fertilizer factory in The Glen during the 1850s, leading to the area's temporary name of Goulding's Glen.
The Glen Resource and Sports Centre functions as a central hub for community activities, offering sports facilities, indoor games, and educational programs.
The Glen connects to Cork City through Glen Avenue, with regular Bus Éireann services providing transportation links to different parts of the city.
A subterranean railway tunnel from 1855 runs beneath The Glen, featuring four ventilation shafts that remain visible in the landscape today.
