See the highlights of our recent trip to Cork! For the 2026 ICOMOS Ireland Annual Summer Outing, Cork City was chosen as the focus of our outing for members this year.
The programme covered a two day programme covering the built heritage of Cork.
Some of the highlights included St. Fin Barre's Cathedral, the UCC Observatory and the Cork Waterworks - Ireland’s best-preserved Victorian municipal water supply works.
The programme also included the Honan Chapel - an outstanding example of the Irish Arts and Crafts movement - which contained stained glass windows designed by Harry Clarke, as well as the Butter Museum in the former Cork Butter Market (established in 1769) and Shandon St Anne's Church.
