Cork

The rebel city of Ireland has much to offer. A one-time European Capital of Culture, this music filled town has a great relaxed atmosphere and some great sporting traditions.

Rugby Tours To Cork

The buzz around Cork could depicts that of no other of a city in Ireland. The city once known as the Rebel City of Ireland has been likened to Dublin without the traffic, but the majority of the residents see themselves as being distinctively different from the rest of Ireland.

The compact city centre makes it easy to get around on foot, but if you're keen to head out of the city then why not head west to Watch Whales off the Atlantic Coastline, or to the Blarney Castle to kiss the world famous stone. 

The sporting life extends beyond Rugby. Cork County hosts scores of GAA Football and Hurling teams - catching a match on tour down here is a must. Away from sport, Whale Watching off the Cobh of Cork or Kayaking on the Coastline is a great way to spend the day.
