Cork is a City in South-West Ireland being the second largest City in the Republic of Ireland. Cork Harbour is one of the largest Harbours in the World and the City was once fully walled, the remnants of the old medieval town centre can be found around South and North Main streets. The best way to see the City of Cork is to walk and visit the Irish charm within the hilly streets.

MUTTON LANE

One of the many entrance’s into the English Market which is located just off Patrick Street in the heart of Cork City. A must visit is The Mutton Inn pub, one of the oldest drinking establishments in the City with a unique Irish atmosphere full of heritage. The Mutton Lane Inn once had the greatest sales of whiskey in Ireland per square foot as the custom was often butchers or cattlemen who would leave a drop or two as payment for their junior staff.
