"Lakeside Ross Castle dates back to the 15th century, when it was a residence of the O'Donoghue family. It was the last place in Munster to succumb to Cromwell's forces, thanks partly to its cunning spiral staircase, every step of which is a different height in order to break an attacker's stride. The castle is a lovely 2.6km walk or bike ride southwest of the St Mary's Cathedral pedestrian park entrance; you may well spot deer along the way."

There's a square-towered church and a small, atmospheric cloister with a giant yew tree in the centre (legend has it that the tree is as old as the abbey).

"It looks quite small and unassuming from the outside but don’t let that fool you. Inside, it’s quite a big busy pub with excellent live music and a friendly atmosphere. The long narrow pub also serves food and is a great late-night bar."

"Not all bars have big budgets or lots of easy-to-convert space or pavements - but places like Bob's Bar in Kanturk show what you can do with a bit of ingenuity, lots of hard work and (we're guessing) 15 trips to the nearest Woodies. The pub on Percival Street in the north Cork town started out in early May with a pretty basic backyard and garden back at the start of May. And a few weeks of hard work later - they've lovely covered pods, loads of space and lots of fairy lights."
