guide to cork

history
The city of Cork’s early history is marked by ever-changing leadership, with its rule changing hands again and again between the English and Irish. Eventually Cork came under stable English rule, and flourished for a short time until the town’s economy and population was decimated by the potato famine in the 1700s. Later history saw Cork playing a key role in Ireland’s struggle for independence (earning the nickname “Rebel Cork” along the way). Today the city is on the rise, as indicated by its designation as European Capital of Culture in 2005.

shopping
Shopping enthusiasts on holiday will find plenty of shops to choose from on Patrick Street, home to the Brown Thomas department store as well as the city’s biggest mall, Merchant’s Quay Shopping Centre. Antique fans should head for Paul’s Lane and browse three excellent shops: O’Regan’s, Mills Antiques, and Anne McCarthy.

things to see
The oldest porter brewery in Ireland, Beamish & Crawford Brewery offers an educational tour that’s a must for any beer lover. You’ll also appreciate that it ends with some samples of their famous beers. The Crawford Municipal Art Gallery is another popular draw in Cork. The collection ranks among the best in Ireland, and provides a strong overview of famous Irish painters such as Jack B. Yeats, Nathaniel Grogan, and James Barry.

After picking up your car hire at Cork Airport, a short road trip the neighboring town of Kinsale is a good way to get a sense of the countryside. About 30 kilometres south of Cork, this quaint fishing village is surrounded by beautiful green hills and offers a picturesque harbour. Bring your appetite: Kinsale has developed a reputation as “the gourmet capital of Ireland,” boasting several award-winning restaurants and pubs. Come in October for the four-day Gourmet Festival.
