Cork Hen Weekends

Cork City is Ireland's third largest city and is historically an important seaport. It began on an island in the swampy estuary of the River Lee, and gradually climbed up the steep banks on either side. Some of the main streets are built over channels where ships nuzzled their anchor-chains a century ago. Along the South Mall, you will see large gateways at street level, under steps leading to a higher main door. These were once boathouses, when merchants arrived at their warehouses by water. As the hilly streets go up and down, so do the voices of the citizens. They have a characteristic sing-song cadence, beloved of national comedians, and Corkonians are regarded as the most talkative of all the Irish. your hen weekend in Cork will be one all will enjoy.
