Cork, Ireland-Food, Drink and Cathedrals
Our visit to Cork, Ireland started with the famous English Market, a covered food market which first opened on this site in 1788 and was visited by Queen Elizabeth II in 2011. Next you'll see some of the nightlife in Cork as we go inside one of it pubs to hear traditional Irish music. We then visit famous Cobh Cathedral just outside Cork. The town of Cobh was the final stop of the Titantic before it's ill-fated journey and many of the bodies were brought to Cobh and were buried here. There is also a memorial to the victims of the Luisitania sinking in 1915, many of whom were buried nearby. Back in Cork, we visited the beautiful late 19th century St. Fin Barre's Cathedral. All in all, a very interesting visit.
