Nice historic landmark hidden in the city. It is very easy to miss though but with the right directions (and the help of google maps) you can find it easily. The place was clean...except for the bird drop...but no trash or any other bad experiences. The Cork Walks sign had graffiti during my visit which was bothersome as I couldn't read the information in there but at least the Red Abbey information was clear to read.

Red Abbey Tower is a historic landmark in Cork city, which is in front of a huge footpath with surrounding trees, houses and other facilities like Nano Nagle Place and UCC's School of Architecture. The Red Abbey Tower is a tourist attraction and is a popular place to see as a result. This tower gives a vibe of 14th century architecture in Ireland.

I visited here during covid. You can’t go inside understandably, only outside to look at the exterior of the (very old) building. Even though I am a Cork native, I was unaware this place existed. Maybe it could be better signposted as you have no indication you’re close by from the neighbouring streets.

A lovely remnant of medieval Cork hidden down a Victorian terraced street. There's not much remaining, just a tower, but it's free to visit and an architectural cracker. There's a board beside it with information on the history of the abbey that's well worth reading too. Make sure to also visit the nearby Elizabeth Fort at the same time, as both compliment each other well and give you a glimpse into what...
