The People’s Republic Of Cork
Sporting Tours To Cork
Sporting Tours to Cork is located in Ireland’s second city or as locals would say the real capital.
Located just inland from Ireland’s southwest coast, is a university city with its centre on an island in the River Lee.
Cork City Gaol once held prisoners bound for Australia, and exhibitions relay the building’s history.
The hilltop steeple of 18th-century Shandon Church (officially the Church of Saint Anne) is a symbol of the city.
Originally a monastic settlement and was reputedly founded by Saint Finbarr in the 6th century.
Actually, Cork achieved an urban character at some point between 915 and 922 when Viking settlers founded a trading port.
With over 500,000 people living in Cork there are plenty of sports around to keep you busy. From kayaking to bike tours there is something for everyone.
Just outside Cork City you will discover the beautiful town of Blarney and its exquisite castle. http://bit.ly/SeeBlarney
