From the bustling friendly streets of Cork City, to the rugged beauty of West Cork, the tranquillity and enchantment of North Cork and the holiday atmosphere of East Cork, Cork is a land of diversity waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.

The Rivers Lee and Blackwater, flowing through gently rolling meadows to the sea, will serve as your guide as you explore this delightful county. While the lively arts and music culture will make your heart beat faster, the beautiful scenery and world-class dining will give you plenty of reason to kick back and relax.

Choose between gentle hills, forest paths, dramatic cliff top walks, or guided walking tours of the county's historic town centres.

Cork City, Youghal, Cobh, Skibbereen and Kinsale all offer guided tours rich in stories of their fascinating maritime pasts. Bird watchers will enjoy a stroll along the cliffs at Ballycotton, or a forest walk in Glengarriff or Gougane Barra.
