St.Patrick's Street viewed from St.Patrick's Hill

I spent only 2 days in Co.Cork but had such a wonderful time there, and I will definitely go back there once!

I was staying in Cork, although haven't seen much of it – but I enjoyed walking down the St. Patrick's Street, which is the main street in the city, and just driving around a city for a while.

Cobh

What i really did enjoy was trip to Cobh, very interesting small town with quite upsetting history, impressive and peaceful St Colman's Cathedral which rises above the town, and those charming colorful streets that just take your breath away.

Gougane Barra

Also went to see...

...Mizen Head, Ireland's most southwesterly point...

…the beautiful sandy beach at Barley Cove – for many the most beautiful beach in Ireland (I didn’t have courage to go for a swim – it was too cold, but enjoyed just walking in the sand…)

…peaceful monastery in the small island in the Gougane Barra Forest Park…

…and many other picturesque places in the Co.Cork…
