Built heritage

Labbacallee megalithic tomb

Dated to the early Bronze age, Labbacallee wedge tomb is located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from Glanworth and is the largest wedge tomb in Ireland.[4]

Glanworth Castle

The 13th-century Glanworth Castle was built beside the River Funshion by the Condon family, Norman settlers who arrived in the Cork area in the twelfth century. The keep and the castle wall remain. The castle is now used mainly as a public walk.[3]

Glanworth Abbey

Glanworth Abbey was also built in the 13th century, next to the castle, by the Dominican order. The priory was desecrated in the 16th century. The priory's gable tracery window, now restored, was once part of the Protestant church, which is located in the Catholic graveyard.[5]

Glanworth Bridge

Built in the mid-17th century,[6] Glanworth Bridge is a narrow 13-arch bridge, and one of the oldest remaining examples in the region.[7]

Glanworth Mill

Glanworth mill, built in the mid-19th century, is located along the banks of the River Funcheon and sits below the Norman castle. Built during the 1840 as part of a famine relief scheme, it is the site of the last remaining reverse undershot water wheel in Ireland.^{[citation needed]}

Transport

Glanworth railway station opened on 23 March 1891, closed for passenger and goods traffic on 27 January 1947 and finally closed altogether on 1 December 1953. [8]

Because of its historical status as a town, it is at the convergence point of a number of minor roads.

Sport

The town has men's and women's Gaelic Athletic Association teams with a tradition in Gaelic football. In November 2009, Glanworth GAA's intermediate football team won the Cork Junior A Football Championship for the third time in their history, defeating Ballygarvan.^{[citation needed]}

Glanworth is also home to the 105th Scout Group (Scouting Ireland),[9] and two association football (soccer) teams: Glanworth United and Glanworth Celtic.[10]

Film

Several scenes from the 1999 Bob Hoskins film Felicia's Journey were shot on location in Glanworth.[11]
