Wilton is a suburb of Cork City. It is the site of Cork University Hospital,[1] Cork's largest hospital. Other landmarks include Wilton Shopping Centre and St. Finbarr's Cemetery, which lies on the border between Wilton and Glasheen and is the resting place of some of Cork's most notable citizens.
Amenities
Wilton Shopping Centre has a number of stores (including Tesco, Penneys, and New Look), with Aldi and Lidl stores also in the area.[citation needed] St Joseph's Catholic Church (S.M.A. Wilton) is located close to the shopping centre.[2]
Local association football clubs include Wilton United.[citation needed]
Infrastructure
The Sarfield Road Roundabout in Wilton underwent redevelopment in 2012,[3] to reduce traffic volume in the Wilton area, and improve access to Cork University Hospital from the N40 road.[citation needed]
In July 2016 there was some question as to the accuracy of road signage indicating the boundary between Wilton and Togher.[4]
