CORK ROMANTIC BREAKS AROUND ST. VALENTINE'S DAY OR ANYTIME !

Difficult to imagine anything more romantic than kissing the Blarney stone:

"There is a stone that whoever kisses never misses to grow eloquent, he may clamber to a lady's chamber or become a member of parliament".

Blarney, only 5 miles from Cork City, with its Tudor style village square, is home to Blarney Castle where over 200,000 folk give its stone a kiss in the hope of loquacity !

Music lovers will find stimulation in the Early Music Festival each Autumn held around East Cork. "Early Music" describes music composed before 1750 & includes work by Handel, Vivaldi, Purcell, Bach et al. What better encouragement for the Romantic Feelings than such alpha wave stimulation.

To enjoy these & other wonderful experiences you will need some suitable Hotel accommodation for your Romantic visit to Cork.

Try the Hayfield Manor Hotel, an excellent 5 star Hotel close to Cork City. Antique furnishings and exquisite fabrics coupled with fine dining will prove a most alluring romantic package.

American visitors with Irish roots will be especially interested in the Cobh Heritage Centre which commemorates the emigration of 2.5 million from this port alone. This exodus from mainly the West of Ireland was mainly due to the famine resulting from the potato blight.

Convenient to the Heritage Centre is The Sheridan Fota Island Hotel on a private island near the island of Cobh . This is certainly a very romantic setting.

Enjoy your romantic break in Cork & do come again soon.
