  • Gougane Barra (irisch Guagán Barra, „die Felsspalte des [Fionn-]Barra“) ist eine kleine Siedlung westlich von Macroom im County Cork, Irland. Der Name Guagán Barra geht auf den Heiligen Finbarr (irisch Fionnbarra) zurück, der im 6. Jahrhundert auf einer Insel eines benachbarten Sees ein Kloster gebaut haben soll. Die noch existierenden Ruinen stammen etwa aus dem Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts. Im Jahr 1700 flüchtete der Priester Denis O’Mahony auf die Insel. Während der Penal Laws kam Gougane Barra die Abgelegenheit zugute, so dass hier viele römisch-katholische Messen zelebriert werden konnten. Westlich von Gougane Barra entspringt der Fluss Lee. Seit 1938 wird die Umgebung von Gougane Barra aufgeforstet; hier existiert nun ein 1,42 km² großes Waldgebiet. Eine Clapper bridge über den Fluss Lee befindet sich in der Nähe. * Malerische Kirche auf einer kleinen Insel in Gougane Barra vom Ende des 19. Jh., die bei Hochzeitspaaren sehr beliebt ist * Klosterruine auf der Insel in Gougane Barra * Klosterruine auf der Insel in Gougane Barra (de)
  • Gougane Barra (Irish: Guagán Barra, meaning 'the rock-cleft of Barra') is a scenic valley and heritage site in the Shehy Mountains of County Cork, Ireland. It is near Ballingeary in the Muskerry Gaeltacht. Gougane Barra is at the source of the River Lee and includes a lake with an oratory built on a small island. It also includes a forest park. The name Guagán Barra comes from Saint Finnbarr (or Barra), who is said to have built a monastery on the island in the lake during the sixth century. The present ruins of a hermitage date from around 1700 when a priest called Denis O'Mahony retreated to the island. During the times of the Penal Laws, Gougane Barra's remoteness meant that it became a popular place for the celebration of the Roman Catholic Mass. The nineteenth century oratory which stands near the original hermitage is famous for its picturesque location and richly decorated interior and is a popular place for wedding photography. St Finbar's Oratory is the final destination for one of the five Pilgrim Paths of Ireland, St Finbar's Pilgrim Path, which starts 35-kilometres away in Drimoleague. Reforestation of Gougane Barra began in 1938 and it is now home to a 1.42 square kilometre (or 138 hectare) forest park with twenty tree species, mainly non-native Sitka spruce, Japanese larch and Lodgepole pine, but also Scots pine and other native species of flora and fauna. The source of the River Lee rises in the hills above the park and flows into Gougane lake. The forest park has 5 km of motor trail and 10 km of hill walks, nature points and vista trails. The Coillte-owned forest at Gougane Barra was temporarily closed in 2014 to allow felling of 16,000 trees, mostly larches, infected with or susceptible to Phytophthora ramorum, a pathogen responsible for Sudden Oak Death. These trees were to be replaced with native species such as oak and Scots pine. Since 2021 the company Wingleaf Ltd plans to erect a wind farm of seven turbines in the area, which would be among the tallest in Ireland. Their application was refused by Cork County Council, who voted unanimously against it. The company appealed to An Bord Pleanála. Their inspector also rejected it, stating that it "would have significant adverse environmental and visual impacts and is not sustainable at this highly sensitive location". Despite this, An Bord Pleanála granted permission, on the grounds that the wind farm would contribute "to the implementation of Ireland's national strategic policy on renewable energy". Tim Lucey, spokesman of the campaigners against the wind farm, said the decision was undemocratic as the local people and council opposed it. (en)

  • Gougane Barra (in irlandese: Guagán Barra, che significa 'la roccia di Barra') è un insediamento, a ovest di Macroom, nella contea di Cork, in Irlanda. Il nome Gougane Barra deriva da San Finbarr, si racconta che abbia costruito un monastero su un'isola del lago nelle vicinanze durante il VI secolo. Le rovine attuali risalgono al 1700 circa, quando un prete chiamato Denis O'Mahony si ritirò sull'isola. Durante il periodo nel quale erano in vigore le leggi penali, la lontananza di Gougane Barra fece sì che diventasse un luogo popolare per la celebrazione della messa cattolica romana. L'oratorio del XIX secolo che sorge vicino al monastero originale è famoso per la sua posizione pittoresca e gli interni riccamente decorati ed è un luogo popolare per fotografie di matrimonio. L'oratorio di St Finbar è la destinazione finale di uno dei cinque Pilgrim Paths of Ireland, St. Finbar's Pilgrim Path, che si trova a 35 chilometri di distanza a Drimoleague.Il rimboschimento intorno all'insediamento iniziò nel 1938 e Gougane Barra ospita ora un parco forestale di 1,42 chilometri quadrati (o 138 ettari) con 20 diverse specie di alberi, principalmente abete Sitka, larice giapponese, pino silvestre e pino Lodgepole, e un gran numero di specie autoctone di flora e fauna. La sorgente del fiume Lee sorge nelle colline sopra il parco e sfocia nel lago Gougane. Il parco forestale ha 5 km di pista automobilistica e 10 km di distesa in collina, punti naturali e sentieri panoramici.La foresta di proprietà di Coillte a Gougane Barra è stata temporaneamente chiusa nel 2014 per consentire l'abbattimento di 16.000 alberi, per lo più larici, infettati o sensibili al Phytophthora ramorum, un agente patogeno responsabile della Sudden Oak Death (morte improvvisa della quercia). Questi alberi dovevano essere sostituiti con altre specie come la quercia e il pino silvestre. (it)

  • Gougane Barra (iriska: Guagán Barra) är en plats med en sjö, (floden Lees källa) och en ö med en kyrka på som påstås vara Irlands minsta kyrka. Intill kyrkan finns en lund med "the stations of the cross" - bilder av Jesu Golgatavandring och korsfästelse. Vid parkeringen leder en stig upp emot Gougan Barra forest park, ett strövområde med hisnande utsikt över sjön på ordnade stigar. Platsen finns söder om Inchigeelagh på vägen mot Bantry grevskapet Cork i Republiken Irland. Platsen är populär för vigslar. (sv)
