Richmond Terrace the perfect spot to take 5

No 5 Richmond Terrace is right in the centre of this arty and bohemian enclave, writes Tommy Barker.

Thankfully, there’s been a sensitive era of renewal to the long, hidden, run of eight, early 1800s homes at Richmond Terrace, up in Cork’s bohemian Gardiner’s Hill, higher up even than St Luke’s Cross.

It’s quite an elevation and a climb if travelling by shank’s mare, or by electric bike, yet it’s only a mile from Cork city centre and the fast-renewing MacCurtain Street.
