Back in Ireland but down south now. We are docked at Cobh a 25 minute train ride from the city centre, convenient and easy to use. Another blustery day with showers. Second largest of Eire's cities, busy and a big pedestrian shopping centre reminiscent of Oxford St. Couldn't find too much to interest us. It is built on the River Lee (never noticed it when I was cycling) and has some pretty spots.
Cobh was formerly a naval port, the ground is contaminated from the munitions work carried out there. It still hosts the Irish navy, 4 patrol boats.
