cork is the anglicisation of the word corcaigh which means marsh and basically its a city built on reclaimed marsh and islands.. As regards age 1184 is probably when it got its royal charter but it was founded by the vikings a few centuries earlier.Yes there wasn't really any cities atleast none standing anyway before the 9th century or 800s ce,there may be places like the monastic centres that might have been cities ,but that as yet to be proven and they are longer cities.The northern irish cities are younger than some american cities even belfast only really got going in the 19th century and Derry in the 16th century Cork actually does have interesting foods like drisheen and spiced beef and is known as the food capital of ireland and you should visit the english market if you have time.
@@diarmuidkelleher5319 I said he should visit the english market,but never said he had to.I also suggested he should go to some of the nearby forts which he did.Yes its a pity he didn't go to the englsh market,but overall his streams were very interesting and really seemed to have a deep understanding of what ireland is and what makes us tick.
Hi. Your comment about Halloween, Ireland did not get the tradition of dressing up at Halloween from the US, that tradition goes back over a thousand years in Ireland, love your channel, but can you please do your research first, and don't listen to locals who don't know their arse from their elbow, 🇮🇪😊 From Wikipedia Halloween was originally a pagan ancient Irish festival called “Samhain,” meaning “end of summer.” Halloween originated in Ireland as the Celtic festival of Samhain around a thousand years ago, which is why so many of Halloween traditions - regardless of where you are in the world - are Irish!.
TC 2005 Yes thats true . The only things that have come from america is trick or treating in the 90s,before that in my young days you sung for the treats and that was the only difference.As regards locals not knowing there arse from their elbow thats a common enough theme i have seen on many travel videos many of the locals while being nice and hospitable in terms of being guides totally useless.I saw one biker video where the local biker didn't recognise croagh patrick.
I am from England, my grandparents, ( my mother parents). Are from Co. Cork. My grandfather is originally from Cork City, and my grandmother from Millstreet, Co.Cork. I've been in Cork City and parts around the county. The last time I was in Cork was 2 years ago.

It is hard to be enthused about a City if you did not research even a little bit. For example, where you ended the video was one of the oldest parts of the city- South Gate Bridge - where the original gate to the walled city stood. Maps from the 14th Century contain Cork between South Gate and North Gate (about a mile further away) . At both gates there were prisons with dungeons at water level (some parts can still be seen here) and heads were displayed on the gates after public executions. Across the river was the original viking settlement (now an archaeological site). The church (actually a cathedral) down the road to your left is the site of the St. Finbarr monastic settlement consider to be the place where the city began. In front of you and including Barrack St (the hill you started to climb near the end of the video) was the location of the Elizabethan Fort (definitely worth a daytime tour) with amazing views of the city. So you were drenched in history right there and you didn't know it. The place were you met the boys (Grand Parade) near unknown soldier monument was originally a river outside the gates of the city. Ship's used to sail into Castle St (where you started the video) to unload their cargo. The street where the bus nearly ran down the lads (slight exaggeration here) is Patrick Street. In 1920 (100 year's ago last year) that street was almost entirely burnt to the ground by drunken Black & Tans (British Army) in retaliation for an IRA ambush at Kilmichael. The area where you avoided the commotion (actually a very safe part of the city) including the restaurant you had the live feed - The Strasborg Goose - is the Hugenot quarter. Hugenots (French Protestants) fled religious persecution in France to settle all over Europe. You didn't notice the church to your left along the street you diverted down. This is SS Peter & Paul one of the oldest churches in Cork where James Joyce's parents married and where Former Lord Mayor Terence McSwiney - who inspired Mahatma Gandhi to resist British rule - was baptised. As for the name Cork. No of course it has nothing to do with wine. It comes from the Irish for the "marsh" (Corcach) on which the city was built. Although the building you mis-pronounced (no biggie) - Woodford Bourne - were wine importers dating back to 1750. Cork is a fascinating city, steeped in history & culture, but a quick google research can enhance your experience so much more.
BTW this is how the Echo Boy's (statue 13 minutes into your video) actually sounded. It's just a short clip from a longer documentary. ruclips.net/video/TWPdOeaG0D8/видео.html
They're trying to build a 6,000 seat concert events centre in the old Beamish Brewery on the south main street which will bring the city on a lot , the docks are been built up massively as well so its a growing economic city the streets off Patrick street like french church street are very nice as is oliver plunkett street which was voted the best street in the UK and Ireland in 2015, going in the Pandemic was tough as alot of places were shut and the city would be not as busy as normal Id imagine ...
Good thing about Cork is its not too big and not too small you can walk around the city easily in a day , every one knows everyone else so you have to be careful what you say lol
Glad you enjoyed my home city 👍🏻☘️☘️☘️
Really cool town. Thanks Ariel 👍💕

You're right. For someone who likes their food, Ariel should have visited the English Market. If it's good enough for the Queen of England..........

Do you honestly think Oliver Plunkett street is the best street in the British Isles? It's not even the best street in Cork!
Cork got its charter in 1185 but theres been a settlement there since about the 6th century.
The distance from Dublin Yes, the Orange and the Green. The Prods and the Catholics.
