If you don’t already know yet, Cobh Tourism has a new website and to celebrate its launch, it is having a competition and giving away an incredible summer break in Cobh for one lucky family. The lovely town of Cobh, famous for being the last port of call of the Titanic, is a charming seaside…
After the recently concluded RIAI (Royal Institute of Architecture of Ireland) 2022 Public Choice Award, wherein the Cobh Public Realm submission had placed second among the short listed entries, i like to visit the winning design again and write a short post about it. Inspired by a people-centered approach, the plan, which was drawn up…
Like a giant mirror ball, the “Earth” or “Gaia” exhibit has arrived at St Colman’s Cathedral in the lovely town of Cobh Ireland. This art installation by Luke Jerram is on a tour, sometimes simultaneously being on different cities (showing on Melbourne, Australia too at the moment), and will be in Cobh until the 26th…
The road to Cobh Little Library is paved with good intentions and also a beautiful view. In this light post, i like to take you on a side trip to the other side of town. The Cobh Little Library is located on the direction of Titanic Memorial Garden and is a short 12 minutes walk…

Center Parcs Ireland at County Longford may be 3 hours away from Cobh but the drive is worth it after you settle down in your lodge and soak the many family activities that the park has to offer. If you are looking for a relaxing family break, this may just be the place that is…
In honour of the recent celebration of International Sculpture Day last April 30, it dawned on me to highlight some of the magnificent sculptures we have on Cobh Ireland, particularly the ones that can be found on the center of town. If you haven’t been on our lovely Town Centre, the sculptures on this post…
Cork City has many places to see and even more to do on a day trip, but if you like to explore a historic and medieval structure, i highly suggest you go check Elizabeth Fort. Cork City is comparably bigger than our own Cobh Town Centre, hence if time is not an issue, head out…
April 2022. Cobh Ireland remembers the 110th anniversary of the Titanic sinking. It’s hard to imagine 123 passengers boarded the ship on that fateful day on what would be also the last days of the 79 who would not be so lucky to survive. Grey sky and windy with a chill, this special day brings…
