The perfect spot with a view on 4 of the many beauties of Cork: The Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, The Holy Trinity Church, The National Monument and (the last but not the least) the River Lee.

You can admire the Cathedral on your right, the Church on your left, just behind you there is the National Monument, and well... you know where the River Lee is, don't you? ;)

The famous English Market is only about 150m far away on Gran Parade St. (attention: it closes at 6 pm every day, closed on Sundays).

The cache has its own pen inside, but we would recommend bringing your own, just in case it will stop working. This is one of the few small-size caches in Cork (the biggest one so far, for what I know). We wished to place this new medium-size cache to allow anyone to leave something inside :)

We would recommend looking for this cache at the sunset time, the sun that goes down on the Cathedral is something special! And if you feel thirsty you can also drink the famous Beamish (Cork's stout) in one of the pubs around this spot. Enjoy!

Few other information:

The River Lee

The River Lee is a river in Ireland. It rises in the Shehy Mountains on the western border of County Cork and flows eastwards through Cork, where it splits in two for a short distance, creating an island on which Cork's city centre is built, and empties into the Celtic Sea at Cork Harbour on the south coast, one of the largest natural harbours in the world. The catchment area of the River Lee is 1,253 km2. The long-term average flow rate of the River Lee is 40.4 Cubic Metres per second 

A hydro-electric scheme was built on the river, upstream from Cork City, and this part of the river now contains the Carrigadrohid and Inniscarra reservoirs. The river is crossed by 42 bridges, 29 of which are in Cork City, and one tunnel. The river also provides an 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) stretch of salmon fishing.

Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral

Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral (Irish: Ardeaglais Naomh Fionnbarra) is a Gothic revival three spire cathedral in the city of Cork, Ireland. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879. The cathedral is located on the south side of the River Lee, on the ground that has been a place of worship since the seventh century, and is dedicated to Finbarr of Cork, patron saint of the city. It was once in the Diocese of Cork; it is now one of the three cathedrals in the Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, in the ecclesiastical province of Dublin.

Christian use of the site dates back to a seventh-century monastery and was, according to tradition, founded by Finbarr of Cork. During the medieval period, the site underwent successive wars, waves of church building and damage. Around 1536, during the Protestant Reformation, the cathedral became part of the established church, later known as the Church of Ireland. The previous building was constructed in the 1730s but was widely regarded as plain and featureless. The cathedral's demolition and rebuild were commissioned in the mid-19th century by an Anglican church intent on strengthening its hand after the reforms of the penal law. Work began in 1863 and resulted in the first major commission for the Victorian architect William Burges, who designed most of Fin Barre's architecture, sculpture, stained glass, mosaics and interior furniture. Saint Fin Barre's foundation stone was laid in 1865. The cathedral was consecrated in 1870 and the limestone spires completed by October 1879.

The cathedral is mostly built from local stone sourced from Little Island and Fermoy. The exterior is capped by three spires: two on the west front and above where the transept crosses the nave. Many of the external sculptures, including the gargoyles, were modelled by Thomas Nicholls.[1] The entrances contain the figures of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene.

Holy Trinity Church

Holy Trinity Church, also known as Father Mathew Memorial Church, is a Roman Catholic Gothic Revival church and friary on Fr. Mathew Quay, on the bank of the River Lee in Cork. It belongs to the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin and is the only church dedicated to Father Theobald Mathew.

The building's listing in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage describes it as a "Regency Gothic-style church with Gothic-Revival portico", and it is "one of the first large churches in the south of Ireland to be built in this style."[3] Construction of the church began in the early 1830s but stalled shortly before the Great Famine. It would only be completed in 1890, in time for the centenary of the birth of Fr. Mathew. The church features several noteworthy stained glass windows, including three by Harry Clarke's studio and a large memorial to Daniel O'Connell.

The National Monument

The National Monument on the Grand Parade in Cork was unveiled on St Patrick’s Day, 1906. The monument commemorates the rebellions of 1798, 1803, 1848 and 1867. Fr Kavanagh, OSF, unveiled the monument as bands from Cork city and from the county towns played ‘Who fears to speak of ’98?’ D.J. Coakley, a well-known architect, designed the monument. John Francis Davis, a Kilkenny man with a studio at 4 Sunview Terrace, College Road, sculpted the figures of Wolfe Tone, Michael Dwyer, Thomas Davis, Peter O’Neill Crowley and ‘Mother Erin’. The builder was Mr Ellis. Coakley had designed the façade of the Holy Trinity church, and the design of the National Monument resembles the design of the church façade. The Cork Young Ireland Society, a successor to the Cork ’98 Centenary Committee, raised funds for the monument. Other speakers at the unveiling of the monument were the Fenians Jeremiah O’Donovan Rossa and Charles Guilfoyle Doran, and the chairman of the Cork Young Ireland Society J.J. Crowley.

The English Market

The English Market (Irish: An Margadh Sasanach) is a municipal food market in the centre of Cork, Ireland, occupying an area stretching from Princes Street to the Grand Parade. It is made-up of Princes Street Market and Grand Parade Market and is regarded for its mid-19th-century architecture and locally produced artisan food.
The market is well supported locally and has become a tourist attraction.
The term English Market was coined in the 19th Century to distinguish the market from the nearby St. Peter's Market (now the site of the Bodega on Cornmarket Street), which was known as the Irish Market.[4] There has been a market on the present site since 1788[5] but the present group of buildings was constructed in the mid-19th century with the ornamental entrance at Princes Street being constructed in 1862 by Sir John Benson. The market changed little over the next century or so until it was seriously damaged by fire on 19 June 1980 and had to be extensively refurbished by Cork City Council. The refurbishment work was done in sympathy with the original Victorian building's design and won a Gold Medal from the Europa Nostra heritage foundation for conservation shortly after its completion. The refurbished market suffered a second fire in 1986 but the fire was less damaging than the first.
