Cobh
Southeast of Cork, surrounded by arms of the sea, lies Great Island, on the south coast of which is the port of Cobh (International Folk-Dance Festival). This relatively modern town, 15mi/24km from Cork, was formerly an important port of call for oceangoing vessels. It is the headquarters of the Cork Yacht Club. There are facilities for all kinds of water sports. Above the harbor stands a richly decorated neo-Gothic cathedral.
