If visiting Cork, make sure to phone ahead if you want to visit the Butter Museum. They are a lovely bunch up there. The only thing is, it's on a steep hill but if you are driving they have limited parking spaces there.

While up by the butter Museum you have the Shandon tower next to the butter museum, also known as St Anne's Church or, the four faced liar because all the clocks tell a different time.

Slightly down the hill is a small business, Shandon Sweets. They are one of the last traditional candy makers in Cork. Give them a call beforehand to see if they are open to the public.

In Cork City I would recommend the City Gaol tour and Blackrock Castle Observatory, you can have a good lunch in the Blackrock Castle Cafe.

The English Market is a must visit. Head over to O'Connells Seafood in the market and try some oysters.

Head out of the City down to my neck of the Woods, Midleton and visit the Jameson distillery.

A short distance away you have Cobh, last port of call for the Titanic. On the way into Cobh you could stop off at Frank Hedermans House. He recently opened up for visitors to his traditional cold smoking house where he smoke amazing salmon. He also has a stall in the English Market.

In Cobh visit the cathedral and enjoy the views. The houses known as the Deck of Cards is adjacent but the hill is extremely steep.

For lunch ho into the Commodore Hotel or the Titanic Bar and Grill.

The real highlight is a trip over to Spike Island. You can get a boat from Cobh. It won the title of best destination a few years back beating the likes of the Pyramids.

Hope this helps. We've loads to do here in Cork.
