Fitzgerald Park is a vibrant and versatile destination in Cork. Nestled within its serene grounds, you'll find the Cork Public Museum, the inviting Riverview Café, a picturesque pond adorned with water lilies, sculptures, a lively playground, and an energetic skate park. During the summer months, the park comes alive with open-air events, including concerts and local festivals. For a unique experience, cross the iconic "Shakey Bridge," also known as Daly's Bridge, to reach Sunday's Well, and don't forget to jump up and down on the bridge to live the full experience!

Old Head Kinsale

Old Head Kinsale

Kinsale is a blissful seaside town known for its cuisine, architecture, and local history. However, a visit would not be completed without walking the Old Head. The circular walking route (6km) takes in most of the sights of The Old Head and is gentler than other coastal walks. Beautiful spots such as the sandy Garrettstown Beach (surfing lessons are available in summer) offer a chance to lie back and relax as you bask in this spectacular coastal scenery. And golfers won't want to miss the 19-hole golf course located on the peninsula.

Garnish Island & Gardens

Garnish Island & Gardens

A refuge of peace in the sheltered harbour of Glengarriff in Bantry Bay, Garnish Island is the result of a creative partnership of Annan Bryce and Harold Peto, architect and garden designer. The island's beautiful walking routes offer a chance to admire rare specimens otherwise unseen in this climate. There is also a Martello Tower, from which there are spectacular views of the Bay. The island is accessible via ferry, which also passes by Seal Island — where Atlantic Grey Seals can be observed in the wild.

Blarney Castle & Gardens

Blarney Castle & Gardens

At the summit of this 15th-century castle lies the world-famous Blarney Stone. Legend has it that those who kiss the stone will receive "The Gift of the Gab" — eloquence and charm. The lesser-known Poison Garden features a collection of deadly and dangerous plants from around the world, while the Rock Close and numerous outdoor statues and artworks inspire a broader view of history. You'll also stumble upon a fern garden with the atmosphere of a tropical jungle deep in the woods. The castle is a short bus journey or drive from Cork City and one of Ireland's most iconic landmarks.
