Cobh Heritage & Experience

The Cobh Experience, an audio-visual display housed in the restored Victorian railway station, tells the story of this port. Cobh was the point of departure for many emigrants off to seek a better life in America and Australia. For many it was the last piece of Irish soil they stood on before taking a boat to a new life. The ill-fated Lusitania was torpedoed not far from Cobh and survivors were brought here. It was also the last port of call of the Titanic. There’s an excellent shop and café—an enjoyable place to spend a couple of hours on a rainy day. (Open May–Sep.)
