WELCOME to Cork Walks and in particular to this walk of the western area of the City. This is a self -guided walking tour and takes approximately an hour and a half to complete. There are three elements to this walk. This leaflet describes the walk and the sights along the way. It also has a detailed map. There are directional signs (green walking symbols) throughout the walk to help orient and guide you. 11 information panels are located at various interest points along the route. These feature short descriptions of places and events in these locations. Along the route there are many buildings of interest open to the public and which carry information leaflets. In addition the Tourist Office, on the Grand Parade, has further guides of the City and the greater Cork area. Please linger along the way, taking the time to go inside our churches, museums, parks and cafes
