St Finn Barre's Cathedral

Our last day in Cork and the surrounding areas was spent in the Cork city center and a visit to St. Finn Barre's Cathedral. Built on the site where St. Finbarr founded his monastic school in the 7th century. This triple-spired cathedral is an excellent example of early French-gothic architecture, designed by William Burgess of London, and opened in 1870. The cathedral is built of Cork limestone and the interior of Bath stone and the walls are lined with red Cork marble.

Tim wanted to do a tour of the Beamish & Crawford Brewery but unfortunately tours are only on Thursdays and Tuesdays :-( He was disappointed but was able to get a few photos of the facility from the exterior.
