Saturday - June 25, 2005

Rock of Cashel & Hore Abbey

The Rock of Cashel is one of Ireland's most dramatic sites. The rocky stronghold was a symbol of royal and priestly power for more than a millenium.
On a flat farmland outside Cashel lie the remains of Hore Abbey, a 13th century roofless, but still impressive complex.

Cork

Cork, the European Capital of Culture for 2005, is often referred to as "Ireland's Second City". It is situated on the River Lee, which splits into a series of attractive channels, quays and bridges on the western side. Cork is a bustling, modern city with a varied and lively nightlife, a thriving university, as well as plenty of historic sites and places of interest.
