Фонтан Бервик, расположенный в самом сердце Корка, на Гранд-Параде, — это не просто украшение города, а настоящий исторический памятник. Фонтан был создан в 1860 году по проекту сэра Джона Бенсона. Он назван в честь сержанта Уолтера Бервика, который подарил его городу в знак благодарности за доброжелательное отношение к нему во время его работы в Корке. Надпись на фонтане гласит: "Этот фонтан был воздвигнут в 1860 году Уолтером Бервиком в память о великой доброте, проявленной к нему всеми классами в городе и графстве Корк, когда он председательствовал среди них в течение двенадцати лет в качестве председателя квартальных сессий". Фонтан является одним из лучших исторических монументов, спроектированных и построенных в Ирландии в девятнадцатом веке.
