The Cork Experience
2009-12-31
Set out on an open-bus excursion around Cork and explore important tourist landmarks, including the mysterious Blarney Stone. Kiss the Blarney Stone perched at the top of a 15th century castle to gain the gift of the gab! St Anne’s Church, better known for its bells than its architecture, is immortalised in the famous song ‘The Bells of Shandon’ by Francis Sylvester Mahony. Wander around this unique church to see a massive tower, two sides of which are constructed in sandstone and the other two in limestone.
