A visitor's
guide-
Cobh (pronounced Cove) on Great Island is a harbour town on the south coast of County Cork, Ireland. Cobh is a cruise liner port of call with over 50 liners visiting each year. Having a population of around 11,000 inhabitants, it lies approximately 13 miles by road from Cork City. Cobh is served by a rail link to the city via Fota Island and Glounthaune. A car ferry crosses the River Lee from Carrigaloe in Cobh to Glenbrook. A place of great natural beauty, Cobh has a centuries long maritime history. The town of Cobh was first referred to as Cove ("The Cove of Cork") in 1750. It was renamed Queenstown in 1849 to commemorate a visit by Queen Victoria. With the foundation of the Irish Free State in 1922, it was restored to Cobh.
