Whether you're a Cork native, have lived there for years or just want to venture further afield, here are 9 great day trips to consider next.
Cork onians will tell you that Rebel County is “the real capital” of Ireland. Factually, we know this isn’t so, but blessed with some of the country’s best food, views and people, either way, it’s definitely worth a visit.
The good news is that there is an abundance of things to eat, see and do that are only a few hours from Cork City. So, you can adventure to your heart’s content, without having to worry about securing accommodation and the likes ahead of time. Kayaking on Lough Hyne is an experience like no other – not only is it Europe’s only inland saltwater lake and Ireland’s first marine reserve, but it also glows in the dark. Yes, really. Opt for the starlight tour and you’ll be treated to a first-row view of the action – the likes of which will leave you reaching for the camera… the pics rarely do it justice though.
A friendly seaside village at the heart of West Cork, Clonakilty is renowned for its Irish hospitality. Famed for its black pudding, it’s the Galley Head Lighthouse that I recommend making the trip out for. While there are no public tours of the lighthouse, it is open during Heritage Week each year in late August. Even from the outside, there are photo ops aplenty though.Just a stone’s throw away from Clonakilty, Inchydoney Beach is the perfect spot to catch a wave or two.
