River Lee, Cork City

Cork is Ireland's southern capital, lying on the divided waters of the River Lee at the head of the great tidal expanse of Cork Harbour, at the centre of Ireland's southern coast. It is Ireland's second largest city with a population of 136,000. A vibrant yet hugely historical city, numerous shopping centres, with the creme de la creme of Irish and international produce, are all within walking distance of the Arbutus Lodge Hotel.
