City and Coast
Cork pairs a lively city centre with nearby harbour towns.
SOUTH WEST IRELAND
Cork
Harbour-side heritage sits close to Old Head's Atlantic edge.
Cork Golf Between Harbour and Atlantic
Cork brings pronounced changes of scenery within one county. Cork Golf Club sits beside the harbour, its quarry-cut character softened by the water, while Fota Island adds resort golf among mature woodland.
South of the city, Old Head shifts the experience onto a dramatic Atlantic promontory above sheer cliffs.
