Our guide was Kerry, such an amazing, lovely, knowledgeable and enthusiastic person! She told us of the history of Cork and its old canals that made it known as the Venice of Ireland. Those canals are now the streets and alleys of Cork, which gives the city a quaint character. The English Market was amazing, with great samples of seafood and chocolate. We ended the tour at a lovely pub where we enjoyed cheeses and shared stories. A definite ‘must do’ in Cork!

About Cork
Cork is Ireland's second city, a river town of steep lanes, a covered market, church bells and a strong food reputation.
Cork centres on an island in the River Lee, with channels of water, bridges and a mix of Georgian streets and Victorian shopfronts. The English Market, a covered food hall that dates to 1788, sells fish, cheese, spiced beef and baked goods. St Anne's Shandon has a tower topped by a golden salmon, and visitors can ring its bells. St Fin Barre's Cathedral rises in the French Gothic style.
Top-ranked sights in Cork: Blarney Stone, Kinsale, The English Market.
