Top Things to do in Mardyke
The 8 Best Things to do in Mardyke, Province of Munster
Plan to cross many bridges when in Cork. Ireland's third-largest city began life as an island and now spans both banks of the River Lee, with watery channels running beneath some of its main thoroughfares. The best way to experience this hilly southern seaport is on foot, following the signposted walking tour past St. Finn Barre's Cathedral and the riverside quadrangle of University College up the hill to red and white Shandon Church. Along the way, you'll meet plenty of the city's talkative residents.

Overall Ratings

University College Cork is one of Ireland’s most prestigious universities. It boasts a vibrant, modern campus with a student experience second to none in Ireland. A learning community where the student is at the heart of everything and the special relationship between student and lecturer is primary to our unique ethos. The campus is located a mere ten minutes walk from the heart of Cork city, a former European Capital of Culture. Cork is listed as a top ten location in the Lonely Planet guide which states it “has always had an unshakeable self-confidence and innate sense of pride”, a description which is equally applicable to the University itself

For the past five years, I've lead a study abroad program in Ireland that involved living and studying at UCC for a week. The summer accommodations on campus are open to the public and are an easy walk to downtown. The Student Center is open Mondays thru Fridays during the summer offering an affordable and pleasant place for breakfast and lunch. We always start our week by taking the campus walking tour provides a good overview of the college and its unique history.

What a lovely treasure this park is! Spacious and picturesque, it is a haven in an urban place. You can come on your own but like me come with grandchildren and oh how fantastic it is! There’s a huge wooden fort with sandpit and other things so you couldn’t ask for more. Plus there’s a lovely pond with ducks! Highly recommended

Well worth visiting this museum which is free. The most interesting part to me was the section covering the involvement of Cork residents in the Irish Brotherhood and then the IRA, particularly around the easter uprising of 1916. Other periods are covered as well so if you have a couple of spare hours give this a go.
