This Cathedral is an impressive building. As visitors we were made very welcome and we would like to attend a service one day.

I love visiting churches, and this one was beautiful. It was worth the hike up the hill (which was not bad with the the stairs via the back route). The views were also wonderful.

Beautiful cathedral. Plenty to see and nice place to sit and cool down. Worth a visit. Two gulls were flying around when we visited.

A beautiful cathedral that overlooks the Cobh harbour . Convenient free parking at the back of the cathedral,a 5-10min walk into town to visit other well-known attractions. A small donation inside the cathedral is requested. The cathedral tower is 91m high and the cathedral took 47yrs to build. The arches , carvings and stained glass inside are awesome , the pulpit is something else. Just check website for services or events and work around that. One of the most amazing cathedrals we saw in our 2 week trip in Ireland

Beautiful cathedral and lovely views of the harbour. Also if planning to take the picture of deck of cards it gives a very good vantage point. Try to go early in the morning to witness Beautiful sun rise along with the ethereal church bell sounds!!..
