There’s something about that golden winter sunshine.

The trees might be bare and the ground might be frozen solid, but in the right light, you can catch Cork at its most magical during December.

From West Cork to East Cork and everywhere in between, Twitter photographers have been capturing jaw-dropping scenes from the edges of Ireland.

Here are seven images of Cork in the winter that will make you want to wrap up warm and head out for a stroll (once the fog clears and the ice melts).

Lunchtime at Whitebay on a beautiful ☀️winter’s day. Hopefully the weather will be as good for the Cork Simon Community Christmas Day swim down here next week.

At long last got to see Safehaven Marine’s Thunder Child II in the wild😁👇🎥#EastCork pic.twitter.com/jc4xD28Wkf

Apologies for the @RossWestCork scenery spam but #westcork & the #wildatlanticway are just looking spectacular. We’re convinced #Winter is the time to holiday in West Cork! Peace, escapism, beautiful walks & time to reflect! The #celticross is there to warm you up after😀😉 pic.twitter.com/B7YPOvo7Qn
