We enjoyed a nice walk up from the city center to see Shandon Tower and St. Anne's Church. Climbing the stairs up and around to the top is very cool. As you stop on each level you get to see the clock's mechanisms and your head is right next to the bells (wear the ear protection they give you!), and on one level you get to pull the numbered ropes to play a song (easy to follow music sheets are provided). The stairs are narrow and wind upwards, and there's a bit when you climb a small ladder and duck under some wood -- therefore someone with physical limitations may not be able to make it to the top. Going in the church is free, but there's a small entry fee to climb the tower -- well worth it as it goes to upkeep of one of the city's oldest churches that's still in use. After ringing the bells and taking in the views, we walked across the street for a pint of cider at The Shandon Arms and had a great chat with the locals. I'll be honest -- I thought ringing the bells would be dorky, but we really enjoyed our trip to Shandon Tower. (It's also right by the butter museum if you're looking to squeeze in a few attractions in one area.)
