CORK

Cork City Gaol is in a magnificent

castle-like building, which once

housed 19th-century prisoners.

Wander through the wings of the gaol,

accompanied by the shuffling feet of

inmates and the jingle of the warders’

keys. The cells are furnished with life-like

wax figures, and graffiti on the cell walls

reveals the feelings of some inmates.

The audio-visual show will help you learn

about the social history and contrasting

lifestyles of 19th-century Cork. There’s

also the Radio Museum, an ode to the

Broadcasting Station which was once

located in the Gaol, housing a small

collection of radios and exhibits on

communication.

Treat yourself to a stay in St Joseph’s

boutique hotel. It’s in a beautifully

restored 16th-century stone building

in the pedestrian-only old town. There

are just six swish suites, each with wooden

floors, beamed ceilings and exposed

brickwork, a marble bathroom with a

spacious rain shower and complimentary

toiletries, and a kitchenette. All rooms

come with a large flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi

and air-conditioning. All the main sites are

within a 10-minute walk, Banje; the town

beach, is only five minutes’ walk away

and some of the best restaurants in the

region are also nearby.
