Bantry House is probably worth a visit.

You might try the tourism website for ideas.

Thanks guys. I will have to limit it to Cork City not the entire county although Bantry House looks right up my street.

Cork is lovely, very friendly people, good places to eat and nice pubs too, you can wander in anytime and see a group of locals playing trad. music and singing without a care in the world...

We stayed in a great b&b that gave us possibly the best breakfast EVER, I can dig up the name of it if you haven't booked anywhere yet..

And you can take a short trip to Cobh which was Titanic's last stop before you know what...

I have just seen the Artefacts Exhibition at the 02, so this would really interest me. When you say a short trip, would you know, how far it is from Cork City Centre, say, by car?
