Cobh is best seen on the way up. From the seafront and Casement Square, the streets climb steeply to St Colman's Cathedral, one of the tallest buildings in Ireland, which towers over the harbour. Next to it, on West View, is the row of coloured houses stepped down the hill, the Deck of Cards, with the cathedral behind: it is the town's classic photo.
Come down by a different route to the quay and watch the ships go by, coming and going from Cork Harbour in front of the town. The slopes are steep: with a pushchair, stick to the main street.
