The Cork City Gaol is a castle like prison that once housed 19th century prisoners. The cells contain life-sized figures of prisoners and guards. A spectacular sound and image presentation at the prison tells the social history and contrasting lifestyles of 19th Century Cork.

The Crawford Municipal Art Gallery houses a small but impressive collection of works by Irish artists like Jack Yeats and Sean Keating.

St Finbarre’s Cathedral is an imposing Protestant cathedral in Cork with French Gothic architecture. Among its most striking features are the fine rose windows, the Mosaic pavements and elaborate carvings.

St Anne’s Church in Shandon is nestled on a hillside overlooking the river Lee. The Pepper Pot Top of the steeple is unusual in that two sides of the tower are built of limestone and the other two are sandstone.

The Lough on the outskirts of Cork city is a noted centre for wildlife, especially Canada geese, swans and a variety of other birds.

The tour will also take you to the beautiful Blarney Village and visit the 15th century Blarney Castle. Take the steep spiral staircase to the top and bend over backwards to kiss the Blarney Stone, believed to grant the gift of the gab.
