Some places visitors to Cork should not miss- from the windswept Mizen Head to the calm imterior of Schull Planetarium there is plenty to occupy the visitor. Referred to as The People's Republic of Cork by local residents, this county has always had a certain rebelliousness running through the hearts and minds of the people- all visitors have to do is enjoy the atmosphere.

Here the visitor can see the forces wraught by the hard Atlantic Ocean that has carved and torn at the Irish coast to form fantastic beaches and cliff faces.
