Cork is influenced by the Gulf Stream so if you are looking for snow you will be disappointed! So for those wanting to get away from the harsh winters you have come to the right place. The Cork people are very friendly & known for their warm welcomes so you will be in good hands.There are some great attractions in the area & lots to see. Cobh Heritage Centre was the main emigration port for famine victims from the West of Ireland. Some 2,500,000 folk left Irish shores from Cobh to seek a new life in North America. For those interested in early Irish History this is an important port of call - excuse the pun. East Cork Early Music players hold winter concerts so if you like the work of Handel, Vivaldi, Purcell & Bach then check their website before your visit. A trip to Cork without kissing the Blarney stone would be missing something unique & great fun: "There is a stone that whoever kisses never misses to grow eloquent, he may clamber to a lady's chamber or become a member of parliament". Blarney Castle is only 5 miles from Cork City so join the 200,000 folk who kiss its stone every year! For your Cork Christmas break the following Hotels are suggested. The Hayfield Manor Hotel is a top 5 star Cork Hotel close to Cork City. For those wanting to be very central this is the one for you.
Enjoy your Christmas break in Cork .Slainte |
