Jameson Distillery and Cork
RINGASKIDDY, IRELAND
Our panoramic tour will introduce us to Cork – Ireland’s second city. Cork began life as an island in a swampy estuary of the River Lee, just upstream from Cork Harbour (one of the world’s largest natural harbours). Today the Lee flows through the city in two main channels, so that you can find yourself constantly crossing bridges – in fact it is this feature that gives Cork its distinctively continental air. Cork has become the shopping and commercial capital of the south. It is a University City with a unique character – a city of jazz, film, opera and theatre. However, as well as offering the many amenities of a large city, it still manages to retain the pleasant charm and friendliness of a country town. We will see the spires of St Finbarr’s Cathedral, the old Courthouse, City Hall and the renowned Bells of Shandon.
