Teave
Kiired faktid: Saar oli strateegiline kaitsepunktsioon, kus kindlustused ulatuvad üle 400 aasta tagasi. Hiljem sai sellest vangla, kus hoiti tuhandeid vangis olevaid inimesi, sealhulgas Iiri mässulisi ja poliitvangid.
Esiletõstmised: Vana vanglasaalid on kolm korrust kõrged, raudvardad heidavad pikki varje, mis räägivad lugusid raskustest ja vastupidavusest. Külastajad saavad jalutada keerulistel vallidel, kus kahurid mere poole suunatud, pakkudes panoraamvaateid sadamale ja Cobh linnale allpool.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Wear sturdy shoes as paths around the ramparts are uneven and can be slippery when wet.
- The top ramparts offer the best photo opportunities especially around sunset.
- Skip weekends if you want a quieter experience; tours can get busy then.
- Bring a light jacket as wind can be strong along the exposed island walls.
