Cork

Cork sits where the River Lee meets one of the world's largest natural harbours, with the city centre built on an island between the river's two channels. The N8 motorway connects to Dublin (260km), while the N20 heads north to Limerick and the N22 west to Killarney. Day trips easily reach Bantry, Clonakilty, and historic Cobh, with the N25 running east along the coast and the N71 heading toward the Wild Atlantic Way. Cork Airport is just 8km south via the N27, and over 100 EV charging points serve the area. The famous Shandon Bells can be heard across the city, and visitors can climb St. Anne's tower to ring them using provided sheet music.
