A seventeenth-century star fort in Kinsale Harbour, a very pleasant walk from the town either by road or along the water's edge. One of the few remaining forts of the period with its outer walls and star formation defences intact. It's well worth the walk - the view out to the harbour is magnificent and from what I remember of my last trip there, the displays and historical information are good too.

One of the best things about Cork (and there are many!) is that you have a choice of two stouts that aren't Guinness.

Murphy's is brewed at the Lady's Well Brewery in Blackpool and Beamish and Crawford is brewed on the South Main Street, just across the road from An Spailpin Fanach, one of Cork's better pubs and a great place for folk music.

Both brews are delicious - but don't take my word for it, I'm a native! Do try them if you're in the city.

The city is walkable, despite the hills! The best view, after Shandon, is from Audley Place at the top of Patrick's Hill. The hill is pretty steep, but you'll be rewarded by the view north and west, as far as the County Hall and beyond. Really lovely.
