As soon as you visit Cork you will feel the atmosphere of pride and
independence.
Maybe this is because most of the city is actually on an island,
or perhaps because historically Cork has always fought for independence, so
getting the name The Rebel County.
In any case, this city, the second largest in
the Republic of Ireland, is great to visit - especially if you like walking up and
down hills and steps!! Here are a couple of suggestions for your visit.
Firstly, go to Shandon Church, which was built in 1722.
It has a tall tower with a
4 metre long salmon on the top of it and is Cork s most recognizable landmark.
You can climb this tower, not only to get a good view of the city but also to play
the bells at the top.
The tower is square, and each face has a clock.
The local
people call this the four-faced liar, because if you stand at the bottom and look
up, each clock seems to tell a different time.
Next you can visit the Old City Gaol, spelt G A O L.
