[2024 Cork Attraction] Travel Guide for Elizabeth Fort (Updated Dec)

Trip to Cork, Ireland 🇮🇪

Weekend short trip to Cork, Ireland. Just to share some of my the place that I have visited and the restaurants that I love. During the trip, we visited Cork City Gaol. A former prison turned museum, Cork City Gaol offers a fascinating glimpse into Ireland’s penal history. We explored cells, learned about famous inmates, and see exhibitions about life in the 19th and early 20th centuries. 💰 €10 📍Convent Ave, Sunday's Well, Cork, T23 VX25 We also visited St. Anne's Church (Shandon Bells). We also climbed to the tower of St. Anne's Church to ring the famous Shandon Bells and enjoyed panoramic views of Cork City. 💰€5 📍Church Street, Shandon, Cork, T23 HV58 We also went to the Farmgate Café. It is located in the historic English Market, Farmgate Café which is known for its traditional Irish dishes using local ingredients. We tried the Irish stew and their famous lamb pie. 📍The English Market, Princes St, Centre, Cork, T12 NC8Y We also visited Elizabeth Fort. A 17th-century star fort. It offers a unique look at Cork’s military history. We walked along the walls and enjoy views of the city. 💰 Free 📍Barrack St, The Lough, Cork, T12 C8A0 We also walked around The Butter Museum. This small museum tells the story of Ireland's butter-making industry, once a vital part of Cork's economy. 💰 €5 📍O'Connell Square, Shandon, Cork, T23 RY26 If you’re looking for a restaurant for dinner, you can try out the Market Lane. A popular restaurant offering a modern take on traditional Irish cuisine with a focus on fresh, local produce. The seafood chowder and the roast Irish chicken were really good and I would recommend it. 📍5 Oliver Plunkett St, Centre, Cork, T12 T959 Last but not least, I would also recommend you to visit Crawford Art Gallery. If you still have time, you can visit this art gallery which features a collection of Irish and international art, including contemporary pieces and historical works. 📍Emmet Pl, Centre, Cork, T12 TNE6 #citywalk #vacation #weekendgetaways
