Glanworth (Irish: Gleannúir, meaning 'yew valley')[2] is a village on the R512 regional road in County Cork, Ireland.[3] It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) northwest of the town of Fermoy and 40 km (25 mi) northeast of Cork city. As of 2022, Glanworth's population was 628.[1]
Glanworth has a Roman Catholic church, a school, one shop and two pubs. The village is locally known as 'The Harbour'. This is believed to stem from the Latin word, arbor, meaning tree, a reference to three oak trees that grew in Market Square and were a popular meeting place for locals.[4][5] The village is in a townland and civil parish of the same name.[2] Glanworth is within the Cork East Dáil constituency.
