The covered English Market is one of Cork’s greatest assets, with a wonderful, lively atmosphere and an array of meat outlets, fruit and vegetable shops, fishmongers, Italian and French cheese stalls, fresh bread stands and much more. Traders have gathered here to sell their wares since 1788 and it’s still popular with locals and visiting tourists who can spend hours searching for that special souvenir among the clothes, crockery, art and novelty gifts.
