Colourful Heritage of County Cork Volume 1 (2019)
Over the last number of years Cork County Council has been producing a heritage book each year, from bridges to houses and churches to castles. What is very evident in these pages is the sheer number of wonderful heritage sites scattered throughout the County; not to mention the household names and legendary cultural characters that are synonymous with the Rebel County of Cork. This publication, Volume One in the Colourful Heritage of County Cork Series, depicts over 30 wonderful illustrations that capture the essence of the County’s Heritage.
The publication ties in with Objective 1 of the County Cork Heritage Plan, which sets out to raise awareness and to promote appreciation and enjoyment of the heritage of County Cork. The book has gratefully received funding from the Heritage Council in 2019 and through the heritage budget of Cork County Council, with additional support received through the Creative Ireland Programme.

Colourful Heritage of County Cork Volume Two (2020)
Building on the overwhelming demand for the Colourful Heritage of County Cork Volume One, which was published in 2019, Cork County Council felt it was only fitting that 2020 would see the publication of a second volume. The Colourful Heritage of County Cork Volume Two, features 30 brand new selections from around the county for people to enjoy: from Bandon and Buttevant to Kanturk and Youghal, covering a wide range of culture and heritage from craft and archaeology to biodiversity and maritime heritage.
