Historical and Walking Grand Tour of Cork

Walk through history, via medieval city streets, Viking settlements and modern day Southern Ireland.


Attractions and things to do - Historical and Walking Grand Tour of Cork

The charm and history of Southern Ireland walk with you hand in hand as you stroll through the sites of Cork. See how Cork was shaped from its historic beginning in the 7th century, when St. Finbarr founded his monastic settlement on what is now Gillabbey Rock, to the Viking settlers followed by the arrival of the Normans, the Cromwellian & Williamite wars, right up to the 1770s Cork when it was a city of waterways. The remaining fabric of the city remains as it was in the 19th Century.

Explore on foot the many steps, steeples and hidden squares and lanes with medieval features, despite much of the city being rebuilt in the 18th and 19th Centuries.

A port city of trade and commerce, a major regional cultural centre with a deeply embedded artistic community and historical background, Cork is a city primed to welcome you with open arms.
