Cork Capital

Cork

Cork is the second city of Ireland, built on an island between two branches of the River Lee. In the centre are the English Market, a covered food market, and the shopping streets of St Patrick's Street; on the north hill is St Anne's tower in Shandon, with the bells visitors can ring; south of the river is St Fin Barre's Cathedral. Blarney Castle is 8 km away.

Cork

Cobh

Cobh, formerly Queenstown, is the port town of Great Island in Cork Harbour, from where millions of Irish emigrants departed and where the Titanic made its final stop in 1912. St Colman’s Cathedral dominates the hillside above the colourful houses, and on the waterfront are the Titanic Experience and the Cobh Heritage Centre. Boats depart from the quay for the fortress of Spike Island.

Cork

Kinsale

Kinsale is a port town at the mouth of the River Bandon, 25 km from Cork, with narrow streets of colourful houses, seafood restaurants and a marina. At the entrance to the bay, Charles Fort, a 17th-century star-shaped fortress, is the main attraction, reached on foot by a waterside path.
