There isn’t much that isn’t known about this historic town. At Carrigtwohill, visit Barryscourt Castle, home of the Barry family during the16th Century.

Next stop is Fota Wildlife Park where you can visit a range of exotic animals that you’ve never seen or heard of before! Fota House and gardens have a wonderful arbouretum. Check for details of Classical music Concerts that are regularly held at the House.

Continuing to Cobh town itself, the first stop has to be the Queenstown Experience where you can go back in time and join the thousands who left for a better life in America.

Further up the hill, take a tour of St Coleman’s Cathedral which houses the only Carillion in the republic of Ireland. Free recitals take place every Sunday afternoon during the Summer months. Dine at the many seafood resturaunts in this town and just ramble along the narrow streets.
