Cork - Central Area

The following circuit through the central area will allow a visitor to see many of Cork's features of interest. From St Patrick's Bridge, spanning the North Channel, Merchants' Quay and its continuation Anderson's Quay run east to the tip of the island, on which is the Custom House. Then along Lapp's Quay, on the South Channel, to Parnell Bridge, from which the city's principal commercial street, South Mall, continues west into the spacious Grand Parade. At the point where this joins the narrower Corn Market Street turn right into St Patrick's Street which leads back in a wide curve to St Patrick's Bridge.
