"You’ll find Red Strand Beach a stone’s throw from Clonakilty and Rosscarbery. This is a flat, sandy beach that’s nestled in a small bay near Dunowen Head. As is the case with many beaches in West Cork, this place gets busy during the warmer months, and grabbing a place to park can be tricky."

The Top Museums to Visit in Cork, Ireland
"The Crawford Art Gallery is housed in Cork’s former Custom House – an imposing red-brick structure erected in 1724 and a welcome juxtaposition to the modern glass façade of Cork Opera House next door. The building has been augmented many times since, with the most recent extension in 2000 – designed by Dutch architect Erick van Egeraat – bringing an additional exhibition wing for modern art. The impressive permanent collection gives a visual insight into themes that trace the city’s biography, from the life of a ‘merchant prince’ in 18th-century Cork to famine and emigration."

Originally, the watchtower was built to defend Cork from pirates, the Spanish, and even (in the case of one English Lord) Corkonians themselves. With walls thick enough to withstand cannon fire, it presented a formidable defense to marauders."
