I have been living in Cork for a while but I have never explored other beautiful locations outside Cork, beside Kinsale and Cobh. I would like to start exploring other places with my girlfriend. Can anyone please suggest romantic places to go for a walk and have lunch after?

Three Castle Head and Dunlough Castle is nice (weather permitting) There's a good walk (across fields so footwear appropriate) and there's the added interest of the stories of it all being haunted.
Ballycotton Cliff walk is also lovely and Seachurch is an ideal place to eat after your walk.

Mizen head is lovely. Not sure about nice restaurants nearby though.

I have a liking for Currabinny woods, Ringaskiddy or Carrigaline for lunch after.

The food options in both places are dismal.

Why bother. Just go to Kerry instead. 1hr to Kenmare.

Dismal is unfair. Perry Street cafe in Ringaskiddy is quite nice.
