Cobh Historic Tour with St. Colman’s Cathedral
Overview
Little by little, we will get closer to the highest place in town to have a look in Saint Colman’s Cathedral, an impressive building representative of the French Neo-Gothic style which features the largest carillon of the isles. On the way, visit one of the most photographed places in Ireland: West View, where we find the picturesque 19th-century houses of the Deck of Cards. Stop at different lookouts with beautiful panoramic views of Cobh.
