Extending over much of Ireland’s southwest, County Cork boasts a wonderful array of historical buildings, scenic landscapes and a rich history. The capital city is a thriving metropolis boasting a fantastic, ever-evolving culinary scene, and an array of excellent clubs and art galleries. The city also boasts fascinating historical architecture such as the St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral, a neo-Gothic structure with tall spires and stained-glass windows. Heritage can also be explored further afield at Blarney Castle, home to the Blarney ‘kissing’ Stone; and by discovering a collection of quaint Irish villages dotting the lush rolling hills of the county. The area is rich in natural scenery such as Mizen Head, Sheep's Head and Beara Peninsulas, where visitors can hike wild hills. Don’t miss the opportunity to take in the picturesque views at the yachting harbour of Kinsale.
