Crosshaven (Irish: Bun an Tábhairne)[2] is a village in County Cork, Ireland. It is located in lower Cork Harbour at the mouth of the River Owenabue, across from Currabinny Wood. Originally a fishing village,[3] from the 19th century, the economy of the area became more reliant on a growing tourism industry.[3][4]
