"Ferry from Roscoff to Cork"
The French town and seaport of Roscoff is located in the Brittany region of north western France. The town and surrounding area is a great introduction into Brittany's charms. The town itself has been labelled "Petite cite de caractere de Bretagne" (the small town with character) due to the lovely architecture on display. Located next to the coast are 16th century granite buildings and charming streets filled with restaurants, small art galleries and gift shops. Many of the town's specialities, which include fantastic local seafood and Breton crepes, can be found in many of the town's restaurants or street side creperies. Alternatively, sample some famous Brittany thalassotherapy - rejuvenating, healing and relaxing therapies using seawater and sea products.
The port was opened in 1973 and is unfortunately somewhat deficient in passenger facilities. Ferry services using the port depart to Rosslare and Cork in Ireland with crossing times of 17 hours and 13 hours respectively. The nearby Île de Batz, called Enez Vaz in Breton, is a small island that can also be reached by launch from the port.
The Irish city and port of Cork is located in the south west of Ireland and is the second largest city in Ireland and the third most populous city on the island of Ireland. It is located on the banks of the River Lee which divides into two channels as it approaches the western edge of the city. To the east of the city, where the two channels meet again and continue to flow on to Lough Mahon and Cork Harbour, are the city's quays. The city itself is located on the island that is created by the River Lee when it splits and then merges again.
Architecturally, Cork has a number of notable buildings that date back to medieval period through to the present day, although the only surviving medieval building is the Red Abbey. The city's two cathedrals are popular tourist attractions. St. Mary's Cathedral, sometimes called the North Cathedral, is the Catholic cathedral and work began on it in 1808 with its tower added in the 1860's. St. Fin Barre's Cathedral is the Protestant cathedral in the city and was built on the site of an earlier chapel. Work began on this cathedral in 1862 and was completed in 1879 under the direction of the architect William Burges.
