On a recent really really windy day, I went to Cobh. It is famous enough place because it has ties to two famous ships - the Titanic (last port of call was Cobh) and the Lusitania (where the bodies were brought ashore after it was torpedoed by a German U-boat).
The town has a certain kind of charm. I though it looked nice, lots of colour - the houses are all painted different colours. But it was a bit of a ghost town too. It has lots of empty shops in the centre due to the whole economic meltdown thing. On the whole though I liked it, with the hills and houses on one side and the sea on the other its unlike most Irish towns.
