Summer season - things to do in Cobh

The Cobh Road Train ( http://www.cobhroadtrain.com/) is now in its second year of operation and is proving to be immensely popular with families, children, and adults alike. Although, it does operate from early in the season till late, the sight of it seems to now herald the start of the Summer season, almost like the arrival of the swallow, for local townsfolk. 'One swallow doesn't make a Summer' I hear you say, yet it certainly lifts the spirits when you see the train meandering through the town and making its way to the various vantage points from where its passengers can enjoy the exceptional views of Cork Harbour. Our recent inclement weather doesn't seem to have dampened the enthusiasm of recent visitors for quite often the train is quite full!!!

The journey takes approximately 45 minutes and takes you from the starting point, just outside the Titanic Experience, up through the town, up the various hills, past various local landmarks like the magnificent Cathedral, the 'deck of cards,' etc.,... before returning. While you are on your trip your driver will guide you though the journey with plenty of local information, especially on the rich and colourful history of the town. There are 8 trips each day so don't be worried about your timing, you're bound to catch one that suits you.

When you're in Cobh this Summer this is one attraction you should give a go!!! Tell 'em the Comm sent ya!!!
