Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Mallow

"Surrounding Cork’s Public Museum, the urban oasis of Fitzgerald Park provides a riverside escape from shopping and sightseeing. A mere 10-minute walk from Cork’s centre but worlds away from city life, this is a perfect spot to take a picnic and watch the tips of mature trees skimming the Lee or venture across the ‘shaky bridge’. It also has an excellent playground and duck pond (plus the odd fairy door) offering fun for the entire family."

"There are few public places in Ireland quite as beautiful as Fitzgerald Park, an impressive set of gardens located on the outskirts of Cork’s city centre. The park was named after Edward Fitzgerald, who helped establish Cork’s International Exhibition in 1902; the fair showcased contemporary designs from France and the USA. The results are still visible today, namely in its lavish Exhibition-era pavilion and fountain."

"A 19th-century estate surrounded by pristine gardens and a fragrant arboretum, the handsome Fota House provides one of County Cork’s most splendid attractions. There’s a small fee to enter Fota Gardens, but it’s well worth the outlay; there are acres of tropical gardens to explore. You’ll also discover a unique walled garden, an Italian arboretum, a fernery and a lavish orangery."

"The guided house tour will take you on a journey through the grand décor of the principle rooms and behind the scenes to the exquisite boudoir and charming Victorian nursery."

"Last but not least we have Tir na Si farm which is open for families on Thursdays and Fridays from 10am to 2pm and on Saturdays for birthday parties and booked events. You can follow the nature trail, meet the friendly farm animals, visit the vegetable garden or find the fairies, there really is so much to see and do. You can also take a spin on the Farm Express Train or maybe a trip on the horse and cart followed by a game of mini golf."

"Quinlans bar is one of Cork most lively spots, and it promises to be the same this weekend with some great live music lined up. Blue fusion will be kicking off the weekend on Saturday at 10 pm followed by the ever-entertaining Clockworks band at 7pm on Sunday. For those of you who like a boogie, Quinlans has you covered with their dance floor right next to where the bands play, perfect if you still have a few moves left after the Ed Sheeran concert!"

"Quinlan’s is a family-owned restaurant built on the legacy of the world-renowned seafood shop the family has been running since 1963. It now has seafood shops and bars all across Ireland but their restaurant in Cork may just be the best of the bunch. If you end up visiting Quinlans, make sure you try the incredible salmon on which the Quinlans reputation is based on."
