Sports Tours in Cork

For a tourist in Cork, the worst thing you can say is go up to the bridge and turn left. As there are 20 bridges across the River Lee, and the saying goes, 'you have 19 ways of being wrong!'

The buzz around Cork could depict 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 Wales off the Atlantic Coastline, or to the Blarney Castle to kiss the world famous stone.

Cork, like other cities in Ireland has a great sporting tradition. The famous Rugby Sevens at nearby Kinsale has attracted teams from across the globe, but with Gaelic Football, Hurling, Horse Racing & Ferret Racing on offer, you have plenty to choose from!

You will stay at a fantastic new hostel in the City Centre of Cork, not too far from the English Market, which is an excellent starting point to any visit.

Like Galway and Dublin, you'll be in multi-bedded rooms with a tremendous breakfast served up just a few doors down the street. We feel that doing it this way gives you the opportunity to stay in the city centre on a budget, get all you need, and not have to spend extra £££'s on hotel rooms or taxi's in and out.

From here you can take in the thriving cultural centre of Cork - something that has boomed since it's stint as European Capital of Culture in 2005. Vibrant new buildings mix with snug pubs and shops to create a cracking vibe.
