Gougane Barra Church

Reviewed By catherineo915 - Carlow, Ireland

We visited Gougan Barra on our way back home from a mini break in Kenmare and I have to say what a beautiful peaceful place to visit i had heard so much about it and I had always wanted to see it and I have to say it was stunning so much history so when you visit stop and take a few minutes for yourself to sit and appreciate the beautiful scenery and to reflect on life its such a calm and peaceful place in such a busy crazy world

St Fin Barre's Cathedral

A stately 19th-century cathedral dedicated to the patron saint of Cork.

Reviewed By igal27 - Rehovot, Israel

The walk up to the cathedral through the grounds is very impressive -- the cathedral is imposing and the grounds inviting. The kids enjoyed playing in the grass and walking through the maze. The cathedral from the inside is stunning, well worth a visit.

Holy Trinity Church

Reviewed By mariec8513 - Cork, Ireland

This is an amazing piece of gothic architecture built very slowly using wheelbarrows and painstaking stonework in a time when money ran out and work ceased until it could be resumed. The church has a friary within it and its interior is beautiful, there are windows there by Harry Clarke, which are resplendent and very ornate, The altar is embellished with cloisoinne, and behind it is a window dedicated to James Connolly, one of our brave freedom fighters.
