Blackrock Castle is a castellated fortification located at Blackrock, about 2 km from Cork city centre on the banks of the River Lee in Ireland. Originally developed as a coastal defence fortification in the 16th century to protect upper Cork Harbour and port, the site now houses an observatory, visitor centre and restaurant.
Gorgeous cafe situated here, set in the courtyard of the old castle. Opens early enough for breakfast and late enough for dinner. In sunny weather you can't beat sitting out under an umbrella on the castle grounds.
