After reading what could be best described as a modest attempt at naming seven tourist attractions in Limerick I was thinking we might be able to do a better job in Cork.Here's my go at it:1. Kinsale
2. Mizen Head
3. Crookhaven/ Barleycove
4. Fota Wildlife Park
5. Gougan Barra
6. Mountain pass from Glengarrif to Kenmare (Cork side)
7. Cork harbour Cork Harbour may be a surprise for some but to me it is a beautiful historic part of the county. I'm sure I am after forgetting loads. Sherkin and a few more of the Islands would surely be on my list except for the fact I have not visited them yet.

1. The Kinsale Road Roundabout. A marvel of confusion!
2.Washington street pubs, Watch in awe as they hand you out pint after pint, each more septic then the last!
3. The pykies having dinner in McDonalds, Why do fat pykies insist on wearing luminous pink/yellow/orange skin tight clothes, twud turn you off your McChicken sandwhich.
4. I don't mean to be racist, but the amount of Kerry people around the city these days is disgusting. They have Bishopstown destroyed and Douglas is going the same way. Its a wonder that we put up with them at all.
5. Pairc Ui Chaoimh, I strongly recommend the stadium tour. The portacabin dressing rooms out the back are ultra modern.
6. Mitchelstown and Fermoy, The towns that time forgot.
7. Cobh. Strange, strange place!

My favourite in no particular order.....Beara Peninsula.Rosscarbery and it's surrounds (Galley Head, Glandore, Union Hall, Drombeg Stone Circle).Mizen Head Peninsula including Crookhaven and Barleycove.Glengarriff inc Garnish island and the Cork side of the road to Kenmare through the mountains. Notable mention to The Healy Pass.Sheeps Head Peninsula. Remarkably unspoiled!Cork City, a pint of Murphy's in The Rob Roy, strolling through The English Market.Finally, the great fresh seafood caught off the Cork coast. Eating at a restaurant somewhere in West Cork and being glad you're alive.
Living overseas now and so glad I spent many's a day exploring the county. Nothing like it!
