Cork Ghost Tour - All You MUST Know Before You Go (2024)

Open navigation

Tremble and quake as you take a trip through Cork’s Ghostly past. This old city has seen plenty of ghastly characters stalk its streets down through the years. Meet the Grave-robbers, Ghosts and Ghouls, Headless Coachmen and the Murdered Servants who float up from the River Lee. This city tour will show you how trouble lurks around every street corner, never knowing where the next spook will appear! Be careful what you wish for, because the Cork Ghost Tour will set your pulse racing while you explore the city streets.

The ghostly guide brings you on a bone-chilling adventure through the city streets. Cork has a fascinating and gruesome history, with restless spirits that roam free at night, trying to tell their tales of woe to all they come in contact with. This family friendly tour is a great way to see Cork City in a different light, with a trip through Cork’s history, through the times when life was cheap but the butter was expensive.

Learn about how Charles Dickens came to town and stole a ghostly Cork tale, as well as the wealthy but cruel ladies who thought little of murdering their poor lowly servants. The streets are filled with toiling, uneasy spirits. The Midnight Monks who refuse to go home, the poor souls who were hung for stealing bread, as well as the fevered Nun that can never rest in this old Cork, a city of great wealth and desperate poverty. You may well meet them all on this dark stroll through Cork’s vile and brutal past.

This is a tour of Cork City like no other. Delve into Cork’s dark past, which is brought to life in front of you. Let us take you back a few hundred years to a Cork of wealth for the few and squalor for the majority. With ghoulish tales recounted in front of the Shandon Bells and its twisting winding streets you may soon see spirits appearing at every turn as the terrifying tales are brought to life in front of your very eyes.

The Cork Ghost Tour is an interactive and engaging city tour that is guaranteed fun for all the family. You can learn so much of the city’s old history, in this spooky and fun educational tour. You never know who you will meet next on this enthralling tour of one of Ireland’s oldest cities. Keep your wits about you, or you might be the next tragic victim to join Cork’s army of other worldly spirits.

Is Cork  the best place in the world? Cork folk certainly think so. This breezy, cosmopolitan spot in Ireland’s southwest inspires a devotion in its locals that few other places can rival.

And it’s easy to see why. Sitting proudly on an island in the middle of the River Lee, Cork’s feelgood buzz surges through its hip coffee shops, vibrant art galleries, off-beat museums and seriously good pubs. Despite being a city, there’s a decidedly towny feel here – life is laidback, nothing is too much hassle.

Pleasantly compact, friendly and with a wry sense of humour, Cork does things its own way, which makes a break here feel totally unique. Enjoy a gig in a beautiful converted church, explore an eerie 19th century gaol and go on a whirlwind tour of traditional tastes at the food mecca of the English Market.

Get a taste of what Cork has to offer with nine great things to do in the city, from a tour of one of Europe’s top food markets to a magnificent castle-like 19th century gaol.

See what makes Cork one of the most exciting cities on the island of Ireland.

Sage, Midleton, County Cork

Cork tastes amazing

A historic food market, rich culinary traditions and forward-thinking chefs mean Cork is at the top of its game when it comes to food.

Head out of the city and you’ll find compelling Titanic tales, romantic castles and pretty seaside towns, all within easy reach. A good first choice is the charming and colourful port of Cobh, set in one of the world’s finest natural harbours – it was here that Titanic last set sail, an event commemorated in the Titanic Experience Cobh . You can also visit Spike Island , “Ireland’s Alcatraz” from Cobh – a short ferry ride across Cork Harbour.

Cobh Harbour, County Cork

A totally different side of Ireland’s history is contained within Blarney Castle , a medieval stronghold, with dungeons, gardens, caves and the famous Blarney Stone. And if you fancy delving into more of Cork’s famous food culture, then head to the gorgeous town of Kinsale , or check out the much lauded Midleton Farmers Market in the town of the same name, followed by lunch at the celebrated Sage Restaurant .
