See, under nice weather it looks decidedly less beautiful. The contrast with the weather helps A LOT.

Cobh is really close to Cork. It’s like a 15-20 minute train ride and Cobh is a small village while Cork is a big city.
Also Cobh is located in County Cork.
Source: I was here three weeks ago.

Cobh (pronounced Cove if anyone was wondering) was the last stop of the titanic before it sunk! There’s a cool museum there and you can follow a survivor and see what happened to them

It’s also the place from where many Irish emigrated to the US and other countries.

Wrong reference, balamory is a children's TV show in Scotland.
Edit: Scotland, not Ireland.

I was just here and it truly is a beautiful village. I love Ireland and hope to return someday. Gorgeous country and wonderful people.

To get this picture, you have to have someone lift you up or blindly take a photo with your camera above your head due to a wall.
With that being said, it’s a small inconvenience for a really wonderful picture.

Yes!!! I found the spot for this exact composition around Easter when I was there this year. I actually jumped and lifted myself up to sit on the wall to capture this, too. @jimbolic on Instagram to see my version, but not much different. Lol.

It’s second nature to us Irish but it just occurred to me that most people here will be mispronouncing Cobh.
It’s pronounced Cove, for those curious.

It’s like someone confused San Francisco with Europe and just decided to build a cathedral anyways
