A short walk from the city center will take you up to the restored and atmospheric City Gaol, complete with furnished cells. Both the exhibition and multimedia display, trace the lives of individual inmates imprisoned here during the 19th and 20th centuries. Conditions were miserable: as one punishment, for example, prisoners were made to run on a human treadmill that was used to grind grain. There is also a cafe in the Gaol which employs a somewhat amusing gimmick: visitors are "free" to choose between sampling a Victorian prisoner's fare or the prison governor's menu. Which one would you choose? Hours change seasonally, so make sure to call ahead.

Opened in 1770, the Butter Exchange was responsible for grading all shipments before they were exported to the rest of the world. It formerly supplied butter to Great Britain's Royal Navy. By 1892, the exchange was exporting around half a million casks of butter every year, bringing prosperity to the city. Although the exchange closed in 1924, the museum has since become a popular tourist attraction. The Butter Museum is situated in the heart of Shandon, on the north side of the city, opposite the famous Bells.

The Red Abbey, an Irish national monument, was built around the beginning of the 14th Century as an Augustinian monastery. Lost to a siege, the friars eventually shifted base and the Red Abbey became a sugar refinery. Following a massive fire, all that remains is a single bell tower, as is seen today. The landmark is named after the reddish tinge in the sandstone that it was constructed from. The City Council of Cork has taken up the challenge to restore it to its former glory.
