Cork, Ireland's third largest city, is excellently situated for exploring the southern coast and river valleys. On the river Lee, it spreads from the valley floor into the hills about the river to the north and south. The Lee flows in two main channels, crossed by numerous bridges, and, along with quiet backwaters like the Mardyke stream, gives the city a picturesque air. Cork is a place of commercial importance, largely due to the excellence of its harbour. whose city quays accommodate the largest vessels. It is an export centre for the agricultural produce of the south, and the city's industries include brewing, distilling, hosiery, flour milling, bacon curing, chemical and paint works, clothing and footwear factories.
The southern capital is noted for its cultural societies. The Cork Literary and Scientific Society, founded 1820, is the oldest of its kind in these islands. Cork is also the headquarters of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society (1891), the Munster Fine Arts Club, which holds annual exhibitions, and the Munster Agricultural Society (1857) which hold an annual show and exhibition).
