MY FIRST VISIT TO AUDLEY PLACE
The journey to the top of St. Patrick's Hill is more than a walk; it is a pilgrimage to one of Cork's most revered vantage points. Beginning from St. Patrick's Bridge, the hill immediately asserts its formidable reputation. It is an impetuous climb with a punishing gradient that reaches 25% in places, making it one of the steepest urban inclines in Ireland. Its difficulty is so pronounced that it was included as a stage in the 1988 Tour de France. This strenuousness filters the experience, ensuring the panoramic view is not just seen, but earned.
