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.
