Full description
Set out on a walking tour accompanied by a local guide. In a one-hour stroll through the city centre you will learn about Cork's history as a transatlantic and European trading hub. Walk along the curved main street, following the route of the river beneath it. Marvel at Cork Opera House and across the river, see the shape of Shandon church, with its distinctive red and white brick bell tower and clockfaces. Next, stroll down Carey's Lane to visit the Hugenot cemetery, before heading to the Coal Quay and Cornmarket Street. Along the widest street in Cork, Grand Parade, see Bishop Lucy Park, the Berwick fountain and the National memorial. Hear about Nano Nagle and her extensive humanitarian work in bringing education to the poorest classes while standing on a footbridge named in her honour. Then, explore St Finbar's Cathedral, the South Gate Bridge and Elizabeth Fort. See the boathouse entrances in the leading business quarter of the city known as South Mall. Finish the tour in Princes Street, at the main entrance to Cork's fascinating English Market.

My wife , 2 adult children and myself have been on a tour of Ireland as a whole . We were in Cobh for 2 nights. We booked the walking tour as it is the best way to get introduced to a city .We were not let down Our guide Noel was excellent .As it happened the other people that should have made the tour didn't arrive so basically we had Noel to ourselves . This didn't faze Noel in the least . Our time with Noel flew by . Noel was extremely personable and interesting . We would recommend this city walking tour .Ask Noel to tell you about the Lionel Ritchie anecdote
