The lively city of Cork, listed as one of Lonely Planet’s top ten cities in 2010, makes for a great city break. But if you have a bit more time, it’s well worth while to venture out to pretty coastal villages such as Youghal, Kinsale, Clonakilty and Skibbereen, and even more so to hike, bike, kayak or surf the beautiful, isolated peninsulas and islands of West Cork, or discover the heritage sites of East Cork.
