While out and about taking photographs for the various blog entries, I came across a number of Grottos which were new to me. I thought that a separate section showing each of the grottos might be a suitable grouping for the website.

The photographs were taken between March and June 2013 unless otherwise stated.

The GPS co-ordinates are from my phone and so may be subject to accuracy issues.
I have not included for Grottos and statues within church property (but may end up doing a separate section in time).

I am very happy to receive details, via the Contact page, of any grottos within Cork city that I have omitted.

I did pose a blog question on 12th June, 2013 so hopefully will receive details of more to ensure a complete list.
Below is a list of the grottos recorded - 28 so far

Updated 2013-12-19 - I came across a few more over the past few months and have now photographed and recorded 36 on Cork City. I have as many again in the county which I hope to upload shortly




Update 2014.02.28 As outlined in the blog entry,  I have now added six more to bring the total to 42 in the city. I have also amended the presentation slightly.
