Situated 35 miles from Curragh, Cork is a favorite stop on most people’s road-trip itineraries. Head here to access Cork City Hall and Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral, two top attractions to mark on your map. Nothing says living large like a road trip does, so keep on driving to Limerick. It’s 60 miles away and also features a few excellent sights, such as King John’s Castle and St. Mary’s Cathedral.
