 Welcome to our page of information, attractions and
places of interest around Cork. The Cork hotels
listed below are either in the town or we have given a rough
guide as to how far they are from Cork. The Republic of Ireland
is bound to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the east is the
Irish Sea which reconnects to the ocean via the southwest with
St. George's Channel and the Celtic Sea. The Republic of Ireland
has 26 counties, and five cities — Dublin, Cork, Galway,
Limerick, and Waterford. The west-coast of Ireland features cliffs,
hills and low mountains. The centre of the country is flat with
large areas of bogland. We hope you enjoy your stay and find
your ideal accommodation from our list of Cork hotels. |

Red Abbey Tower is the oldest piece of architecture in the city.
It is all that remains of the friary that was built by the Augustinians
in the thirteenth century. They arrived in Cork in 1280 and were
given some land outside the city walls by the Normans. The Augustinians
built a friary of red sandstone and later added the 19.5m high
squared limestone tower that you can see on Red Abbey Street,
tucked away between Dunbar Street, Douglas Street and George’s
Quay on the south side of the river. Location: In the centre of Cork. |
