In the late 16th century the citizens of Cork appealed to Queen Elizabeth I for protection against pirates and invaders. Around 1600 Blackrock tower was then built on the lower estuary. Destroyed by fire in 1722, it was rebuilt for the princely sum if €296! More about this Castle of Blackrock when you run with us!

Experience the depth of local history. Shandon Bell Tower (you can ring out your message to the world..!) and St. Annes Church built in 1722 after the great fire of Cork in 1690 destroyed the original church. The tower was built with 2 sides of red sandstone and 2 sides of white limestone and is said to have influenced the cork county colours, red and white.

After a chest expanding climb to Sunday's Well north of the river, we come across "the best prison in 3 kingdoms" or "the women's prison". Opened on 1824 and
closed in 1923, it once had Countess Markievicz as it's most famous prisoner, rebel, politician and member of parliament....oh and...it's haunted....!👻

We can't run past this, we stop for a few minutes at the first major work of the victorian architect William Burges - St. Finbarre's Cathedral. Begun in 1863 and completed in 1870, early french style and built on the site of at least 2 churches dating back to the 7th century. Don't forget the camera!
