  1. Hey, 

     

    Local "Cobhite" here,  Cobh is a small harbour town so you are sure to find a good Irish spot for lunch or coffee.

     

    • Any Salmon dishes.
    • Scones with melted real Irish butter (yummy) 
    • A breakfast with Clonakilty pudding (Don't ask to many questions, just try it 😉) made in another town in Cork. 
    • Any Irish beef dishes - from burgers to steak (We have a great trace system from farm to plate)
    • Pick up a jar of Ballymaloe relish - it's yum on everything and again made nearby. 
    • Irish Soda Bread with real Irish Butter.
    • Irish Strawberries if they are in season.
    • Irish stew. 
    • I have to include some drinks- Barry's Tea if you are visiting Cobh,  Cork, Beamish & Murphy's Irish stout are Cork brewed - Guinness is from Dublin. Jameson Whiskey made in the next town of Midleton.    

    Enjoy your trip,

  2. Hey guys, 

     

    Full disclosure - I'm a Cobh local (and a cruiser) so not even sure if I can post? but here goes - just delete if it's inappropriate. 

     

    In Cobh,  there is so much to do here depending on how much time you have.  Some top ones are

     

    • The Titanic Experience 
    • Cobh Heritage Centre - great history in this one and there are options to trace your ancestors if have any Irish routes.
    • Butlers Shore Tours - https://www.ecoach.ie/ - They have a good cancellation policy and a great new Cobh Tour in an "open top bus" the itinerary is excellent and really covers all the fascinating history - its only €20. (The Butlers are a local Cobh family)- When you book with  these you receive discounts for the about 2 attractions.        
    • The Cathedral is visible from the waterfront when you sail in, it is absolutely  stunning so definitely worth the visit. It is a bit of an uphill walk though.   
    • Other great visits are - any of the local pubs (Kellys is very popular, a lovely family run bar) 

     Happy cruising,
