There is a train stop on the way from Cobh to Cork for the Fota Wildlife park. It's a great "zoo" with some unique animals and some of them (kangaroos, wallabies, lemurs) are allowed to roam free throughout the grounds. I'd definitely recommend spending time a the zoo as well as just in the town of Cobh if at port on a cruise because they are both interesting and beautiful places, and also because most people seem to go on tours of Blarney or visit Cork, so Cobh and the Fota Wildlife Park are less crowded. Cheers!
That's a good one! I would have never thought of that. Noted for our next list. Thanks so much!!
Cork and Cobh very important harbor when
Ireland colonized by the British. It is natural harbor the second deepest in the world ,Spike Island would’ve been a nice trip for you incredible history.
Just so you know, Celtic is pronounced with a K sound. The C in the Irish language makes a hard K sound
The reason being is in the Irish language, there is no ( j, k, q, v, w, x, y, z) in the alphabet
Glad you enjoyed the trip. It’s beautiful that part of the country.
Thanks for the correction. I certainly want to return and check out Spike Island. I'm also curious about the area just beyond the Church overlooking Cobh. It's a lovely walking town!
I wish I saw your video before going to Cork. I just came from my cruise and when we arrive in Cork, our friend wanted to see the black rock castle so we spent precious time there. We spent in Cobh just one hour and love it. The people are so welcoming and friendly.
Yeah, we really weren't into the castle. Hopefully, you had a good lunch? The food we had was pretty good! And yes, the people are awesome. We were all made to feel quite welcome!
Nice video 😊
Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed your short stay. There is a bus service from Cork railway station to the city centre (No.205). It departs from the opposite side of the Cork/Dublin railway line. (There is a tunnel beneath the line and an elevator for those who don't wish to use the steps)
Cool! Thanks for the info, we'll make note of that next time we come. Best to you!
Thank you, your presentation was informative and well done!
Thanks so much! We really enjoyed Cobh and can't wait to come back. 😊
@@ThePortLowdownWhen and if you do you really have to visit the RobRoy bar of an evening for the live music ..Irish Trad and dancing on a Thursday
That would be lovely! I'm putting that on my list. Thanks!
Such an engaging and enticing verbal treat this video is
It immediately evokes intense desire to rush to Port of Cork and Cobh
Lovely presentation indeed
Thanks very much indeed! And we miss Cobh already, can't wait to go back.
❤❤❤Corb
Totally love that place!
The best time to visit Cohb, Kinsale or Cork is when Cruise ships are out to sea..
Ha! I DO wonder what staying in Cobh overnight when not cruising would be like. It's one place we would definitely consider doing a longer stay. We just don't have that option at the moment.
@@ThePortLowdownEnjoyed seeing my gaff on the film there and as you asked so nicely I have subscribed .By the way only the Scottish based football team is produced Sell Tick , every other pronunciation is Keltic and most Irish prefer to say Gaelic as it refers to Irish "Celts " and language
Gotcha. I'm making note. Can't wait to come back and thanks for subscribing!
Hi where is Cobh please?
Cobh is in Southern Ireland, about 22 km southeast of Cork.
@@ThePortLowdown is it easy to access from cork?
Sure! There's a train from Cork to Cobh that stops right near the center of town.
@@ThePortLowdown thank you so much. Is it busy in Cobh this time of year?
The town is small but gets busy in tourist season. Not too crowded when we were there and that was summer. I assume it would be fine during the warmer months.
