1. Ring the Shandon Bells
Did you know you can climb the Shandon bell tower and ring the bells of this Cork landmark? What a wonderful way to mark your stay in Cork with your nearest and dearest. Climbing the 132 steps to the top is well worth it for the views across Cork city. It is also a bargain activity to boot.

There are two options for your date, take an organised bicycle tour of Cork or hire bicycles and do your own thing. There are lots of sites around the city and outlying areas that are easy to access by bike, this is the ideal couple’s day out for couples looking for a leisurely activity.
