Introducing Cobh
In the wake of the Famine, 2.5 million people emigrated from the port of Cobh (pronounced cove) – go on a grey day, and the sense of loss is still almost palpable. When the sun shines and the crowds flock in, though, you’ll see another side to this hilly little town. The spectacular cathedral looks down over brightly coloured houses, the wide seaside promenade and the glittering estuary, and Cobh seems to shake off its sad past.
