Cobh

Museum inside the former dockside building depicts the town's emigration and other history, including the Great Famine and Titanic.

In an old Presbyterian church opposite the Heritage Centre but separately run, this small museum has various exhibits of town life and its maritime history.

Guided tour through the White Star departure hall, following the emigrants' footsteps.

Towering neo-Gothic RC cathedral; the steeple is 91.4 m tall. Construction began in 1868, whereupon the bishop decided that it should be altogether grander than what had been planned by Pugin. The disruption and cost overrun meant the place wasn't completed until 1919. There's a remarkable 47-bell carillon, with the largest bell a humonguous 3.44 metric tonnes.

There may have been a monastery here, but the main feature is the great bastion used for defence and as a prison for convicts awaiting transportation and for republicans. It remained a British base as part of the Treaty Port of Queenstown until in 1938 it was handed back to Ireland. It's named Fort Mitchel, after John Mitchel of Newry. The ticket includes the 10-minute boat trip to the island, a 40-minute guided tour, and a total of 3 hours on the island.
