O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Otok je služio kao strateška obrambena točka s utvrdama starim više od 400 godina. Kasnije je postao zatvor u kojem su držani tisuće zatvorenika, uključujući irske pobunjenike i političke zatvorenike.
Istaknuto: Stare zatvorske ćelije naslagane su tri kata visoko, s željeznim rešetkama koje bacaju duge sjene koje pričaju priče o teškoćama i otpornosti. Posjetitelji mogu prošetati vijugavim bedemima gdje su nekada topovi bili upereni prema moru, pružajući panoramski pogled na luku i gradić Cobh ispod.
Insajderski savjeti
- 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.
