This place was right around the corner from the hotel we stayed in(Maldron) Went up to the top of the tower, great views of the city. Kids played a tune on the bells. Lovely spot

Located in a great part of Cork. Well worth the walk through a very charming neighborhood. The tower is full of history and character. The views from the top are awesome. Very friendly staff. The stairs are narrow and a bit steep but made it all the more worthwhile.

The view from the top is amazing too!

We knew we wanted to ring the bells, so we got our ear protection and headed up the stairs. Even though there are not a lot of pieces of music (and they are, weirdly, mostly 70's songs - ???), we had a blast pulling the ropes and playing all sorts of tunes, but we couldn't understand why we had the...

Its a lovely old church with great views of Cork city from the top. Steep steps though and very narrow. Good fun ringing the bells.
