      Pretty Cork on Emerald Ireland

      Surrounded by beautiful green countryside and sitting on a river, Cork is very pleasant and makes for a lovely break. With a varied and fascinating history which dates back 1400 years, Cork also has some brilliant landmarks and old buildings to visit and diverse culture to experience. Great folk and Jazz music and a relaxed ambiance draw travellers back here time and time again. Wonderful local produce and food are also a pull for many. But don't let this fool you into thinking Cork is just another 'foodies' and culture town. With a lively University scene and many pharmaceutical companies based here, the atmosphere is decidedly 21st century.
