Shanagarry (Irish: An Seangharraí, meaning 'the old garden (or court)')[2] is a village in east County Cork in Ireland.
The village is located near Ireland's south coast, approximately 35 kilometres (22 mi) east of Cork, on the R632 regional road.
Shanagarry Castle passed to the family of William Penn in the 1660s; it was his occasional residence before he left for Pennsylvania and started his Holy Experiment.
[3] Also to be found in Shanagarry is the historic Old Road, an ancient Irish causeway and home to the original residents of the village.
The coastline at Shanagarry and Ballynamona forms part of the Ballycotton Bay Special Protection Area (SPA) and is home to herons, oystercatchers and cormorants.
