Most people visit the church of st Anne to ring the famous bells of Shandon. We had a go and it was good fun, we also got to climb to the top of the Shandon tower where there is an incredible view out over the city. The church interior is maybe a slight anti-climax as it is quite plain, but the stained glass windows are very pretty and the light that they cast on the rest of the church is very effective.

St Finbarre's Cathedral is one of the grandest sights in Cork with three elegant towers. Suprisingly its a Victorian structure as it looks for all the world like a Gothic cathedral. The Interior is very beautiful and the organ is fairly famous I think.

This is a beautiful old church built in the early 1700s. It has several wonderful bells in the tower, that you can pay a small fee to ring yourself. It is a great view from the tower.

Cork has many great attractions for tourists and locals alike to enjoy, but one of my favorites is the Cobh Cathedral. In addition to the amazing architecture and religious history of the Cathedral, you will really be moved seeing a service here. Also, you get an amazing view of the entire city and its harbor.
