Amazing forest with well marked paths and trails. Boulders and rock formations are huge and spectacular.

Absolutely beautiful walk. Great on a hot day, as sheltered by trees and by the river. Felt like Jurassic Park, absolutely beautiful. Easy walks. Dog friendly

Great place for an easy hike in the forests. The hiking trails are easily accessible through the town of Huelgoat. I recommend to visit the following places: La Grotte de Diablo, Cap d'Artus and Grotte d'Artus. I recommend to plan for at leas half a day to enjoy this place without any stresses.

Amazing place, free to walk round, lots of options on length of walk. Lots of corners to explore. Fun for adults and children. Back pack easier with toddlers. Some steep drops.

Nice forest with big granit rocks, a beautiful canal and an old town nearby

One of the most magical places I've been to. The forest is quite massive and has loads of places to visit, I went for my birthday with my SO and we both had an amazing time. Heading into the forest you will see incredible natural views and even some wildlife. The fountains you find there are nothing but magical and you truly feel something special walking around in this forest.

A very interesting place to visit and walk. Take strong shoes and you will need to climb to a degree. The trip down to the Devils Cave is worth making but involves steep steps and ducking under rocks. For the not able bodied the lake opposite is beautiful and there are many cafés and restaurants nearby.

Great position . Nice room no complaints

Best chocolate from the region. Try the Florentins.

Excellent

Exelent ! !!

Succulent

amazing biscuits

(Translated by Google) We went to the chocolate shop with a group of children aged 7 to 11. We watched a film and toured the workshop independently. Then, when we returned to the store, the saleswoman didn't pay any attention to us. We were expecting to be able to taste the chocolates as agreed, but we had to ask her after 10 minutes for her to inform us that we only had to taste what was presented on the table. She reprimanded us firmly during the tasting because we had the misfortune (innocently) of going behind the counter to taste. When she started refilling the plates, we realized it was time to leave. We had planned to take several things from the store for the children to taste, but we settled for only the bare minimum given her attitude. Too bad... (Original) Nous nous sommes rendus à la chocolaterie avec un groupe d'enfants de 7 à 11 ans. Nous avons visionné un film, et visité l'atelier en toute autonomie. Ensuite, lorsque nous avons été de retour dans le magasin, la vendeuse ne s'est pas du tout préoccupée de nous. Nous étions dans l'attente de pouvoir faire la dégustation comme convenu, mais il a fallu que nous la sollicitions au bout de 10 min, pour qu'elle nous informe qu'il suffisait de goûter à ce qui était présenté sur la table. Elle nous a repris fermement au moment de la dégustation, parce que nous avions eu le malheur (de manière innocente) d'être passés derrière le comptoir pour déguster. Lorsqu'elle a commencé à remplir de nouveau les assiettes, nous avons compris qu'il était temps que nous partions. Nous avions prévu de prendre plusieurs choses dans le magasin, pour faire déguster aux enfants, mais nous nous sommes contentés de ne prendre qu'un minimum au vu de cette attitude. Bien dommage...

Great to be able to walk across this amazing piece of architecture, trains above you and views of the town and port. Beautiful.

Amazing piece of working architecture

superimpressionnante construction

alot of history and culture

it's a great view of town from the top.

(Translated by Google) Really beautiful! Really great!! Especially when the train passes over it, you can have different points of view, either from the alleys above, from the chapel, or from the bottom of Morlaix, the Viaduct is really in the center of Morlaix, very imposing! Really great and architectural genius (Original) Vraiment beau ! Vraiment top !! Surtout quand il y a le train qui passe au dessus, ont peut avoir différents point de vue, sois des venelles en haut, de la chapelle, ou encore du bas de Morlaix, le Viaduc est vraiment dans le centre ville de Morlaix, très imposant ! Vraiment génial et du génie architectural

(Translated by Google) A very pretty viaduct and beautiful town of Morlaix. I was surprised when I spent a few hours exploring this town. I didn't expect to see a small, hilly town full of character. So charming and dynamic! (Original) Très jolie viaduc et belle ville de Morlaix. J'ai été surpris en visitant quelques heures cette commune. Je ne m'attendais pas à voir une petite cité de caractère vallonnée. Beaucoup de charme et dynamique !!

The fort itself is pretty cool, definitely worth a visit. I found the history to be even more exciting though! 4/5 stars because there is not that much to see/do.

We enjoyed the boat tour and appreciated that the guide book had English wording. The trip could be enhanced by providing some basic commentary in English. On arrival at the fort we found ourselves in a big crowd listening to the tour guide speak French. We didn't want to leave as it felt rude. It would have helped if the tour guide let us know in English that the non French speakers were free to leave and to explore the fort. Overall we enjoyed the trip.

Excellent organization of the visit from the start, with a straightforward, informative website, to picking up our tickets, to the boat shuttle. Knowledgeable staff too - and don't forget the gift shop. Quick, the last bell is ringing - don't miss your trip back to the mainland!

A beautifully restored coastal fort with much effort put into informing and interpreting its usage and siting, along with the history of the site. A great little self guided tour - the information boards are in both French and English - thankyou! Its worth visiting the gift shop for some unique presents too.

Very interesting but do check the times of the boat trips as soon as you arrive on your holiday, we nearly missed out due to high tides.

Very interesting visit but ran out of time looking around.

I really enjoyed this trip. Unfortunately the guide talk was in french and my french is not that good. Maybe a small talk in english also?

The Exotic Garden of Roscoff offers an impressing richness of tropic plants from all over the world. For botanic lovers a „must seen“ in the French Bretagne.

A wonderful garden to visit. Very friendly reception. Gorgeous plants. We really appreciated the English translations, the information provided was very educational. Thank you.

Beautiful array of flowers, cacti and trees. Viewing point was worth the trip alone. We saw quite a few butterflies, koi fish and birds. Definitely worth the trip and reasonable price.

A wonderful little garden. Grey skies on the day we visited, but the flowers and plants were amazing. Good views of the harbour from the lookout.

A nice exotic garden you wouldn't expect in Brittany. If you're a gardening enthusiast, then it is worth seeing. Well maintained and clean.

Well worth the visit. Magnificent haven for exotic plants.

Some really cool plants to see here. From the top of the rock you have a really nice view.

It's open everytime for now till January because of exposition. If you love artistic work you can visit

Great expo of photos by Cartier Bresson when I visited. Top notch. Well situated in the town, close to the rail station, and you can wander down to the pretty town centre for some shopping or a drink afterward.

Hilarious that an expo about animals doesn’t allow animals (small dog) to EVEN enter the courtyard- we were chased away by the ‘active’ security guard within seconds of entering the OUTSIDE area without even giving us a chance to sort ourselves out. Will not be going back again and that’s 2 paying customers lost.

Animal is a tremendous exhibition showing places Animals occupying Arts all along centuries.

Very good exhibit about Enki Bilal, spacious rooms and not too crowded. Friendly staff and unique masterpieces never seen before.

A fabulous venue and exhibition on the interface between animals and humans. They had some amazing pieces (Louise Borgeous' arachnid, for instance). A very enjoyable experience.

Beautiful cloister now dedicated to modern art exhibitions.

Wonderful place! No cars allowed (except for the mail truck). You can walk around the island in 45min and catch your own shrimp off the North shore! Incredible!

Lovely island, interesting gardens

(Translated by Google) Superb place, we spent a very beautiful day there, with the sun and the sweetness 😍🤩🌞 (Original) Superbe endroit, nous y avons passé une très belle journée, avec le soleil et la douceur 😍🤩🌞

(Translated by Google) We spent the day there and really enjoyed it! It's a good tourist spot. (Original) Nous y avons passé le journée et avons bien aprécié ! C'est un bon endroit touristique

(Translated by Google) We took the boat there from Roscoff. What a beautiful island. You have to see it. (Original) Met de boot vanuit Roscoff er naar toe gevaren. Wat een schitterend eiland . Hier moet je geweest zijn.

(Translated by Google) Superb island. Very pretty, with several beaches, a botanical garden to visit, a lighthouse (among others), several creperies, cafes. The crossing is not long, around fifteen minutes. Consider purchasing tickets in advance for the shuttle. Very beautiful view of the sea. (Original) Superbe île. Très jolie, avec plusieurs plages, un jardin botannique à visiter, un phare (entre autres) plusieurs crêperies, cafés. La traversée n'est pas longue, une quinzaine de minutes. Penser à prendre des billets à l'avance pour la navette. Très belle vue sur la mer.

(Translated by Google) Too good! If you are in the area, come take a tour of the island on foot or by bike. After parking your car (pay attention to the controls) it takes 10/15 minutes to cross. On the island there are bars-restaurants. You can also picnic there. Dog crossing is free. ... Afterwards it's just beauty. Consider taking a camera. The tour of the island is 10/12 km without difficulty. You can also visit the lighthouse and the garden. You won't regret your day. (Original) Trop bien ! Si vous êtes dans la région, venez faire un tour de l'île à pied ou en vélo. Après avoir stationné votre voiture (attention aux contrôles) il faut compter 10 / 15 mn de traversée. Sur l'île il y a des bars-restaurants. Vous pouvez aussi y pique-niquer. La traversée des chiens est gratuite. ... Après ce n'est que du beau. Pensez à prendre un appareil photo. Le tour de l'île fait 10 / 12 km sans difficulté. Vous pouvez en plus visiter le phare et le jardin. Vous ne regretterez pas votre journée.

The combination of historical genius loci and natural beauty is truly unique. We were lucky to stumble upon a local festival and bought a baguette with regional cheese—making it a culinary experience as well. Freshly baked bread with cheese is a timeless classic… thank you!

Very interesting place. We came here to see the Corps des Gards building but found there was much more to see here. There is a dedicated parking area for motorhomes next to the car park and toilets. There is a path of about 500m to walk which is just about suitable for a wheelchair user.

Beautiful place to visit with enough information to understand the area. Craft shops selling handmade gifts.

A very beautiful and impressive place to visit.

It was fantastic! I'm really in love with the Celtic architecture. The village is in a very good shape and you can visit every house. It is a really tourist hotspot. The best is the cost and it's boulder options. The kids really loved it to carefully climb the rocks. Fir those who are brave enough can go swimming, but it really depends on the weather and the water temperature. A must see!

Thats one of the best places I visited during this journey! I felt a bit like beeing in Asterix village in Gallia. So nice reconstructered old huts with all the natural massive rocks. And the handcraft shop and Bistrorestaurant. Visit is for free as parking. Inside of some huts the hustory of that village is nicly explained also a lot to discover for children. All in three languages french, english and german. Can only highly recommand this seaside unique attraction!🛖

Enjoyable visit of an interesting and scenic area. Buildings restored from Seaweed fishermen.

Kynance Cove is absolutely spectacular. The water is a beautiful mix of blue and green, the rock formations are incredible to climb and admire. There are also caves to explore. The most important thing is - CHECK TIDE TIMES before you go! The cove completely changes with the tide. When it’s out, you can reach the second part of the beach with all the amazing rocks and caves. The best time to go is around the lowest tide point (you can find this easily by Googling “Kynance Cove tide times”). The best time to arrive is about 30–60 minutes before low tide is shown online. That’s when access to both beaches is possible. The tide starts to come back after about 2h ( from the time it was at it is lowest point) and can quickly cut off access to the caves and second beach. People are often swimming and playing in the water completely unaware that the tide is coming in, as this is not visible from every side of the beach. When a tide chart says for example- “High tide 3:30pm,” that’s the peak. The water starts rising about 3hours before that covering more land, so you have to be careful not to be cut off by the tide.

Absolutely stunning views as you walk down to the beach, worth stopping just to take it all in. The walk down (and back up!) is a bit of a hike, so wear comfy shoes, but the beach itself is peaceful and beautiful. A great spot if you don’t mind the climb.

Speechless, the descent is doable for most (not like the climb down to Lantic bay if that helps) once you reach the bottom it’s nothing but small to large smooth rocks so good shoes and confident footing helps. Once the tide is out the beach is exposed which leads to another world of coves, caves and water perfect for swimming when the waves aren’t crashing in on a rough day. Go for it, you won’t regret! (Toilets available at the car park)

Simply stunning and unique (but time your visit to avoid the crowds) Probably the most beautiful beach in the UK - but get there early! We arrived about 9.30am, it was fairly quiet, parking was easy (parking is cash or Ringo). The walk down was fun - less so if you have prams as it’s rocky but my 5 year old coped well - it takes less than ten minutes. We were taken aback by the view as you approach the shoreline, its stunning - with white sand and warm, clear sea. We loved exploring the different sections of beach as well as the caves and inlets. It was relatively quiet and we had large sections of water and sand to ourselves (some of the small beaches we did actually have to ourselves). We had drinks at the cafe, which had plenty of outdoor seats and no queue. However, once the tide came in around midday/1pm and closed off a large section of beach it became very loud and crowded. We left around this time, with lots of people only just arriving - on our way back to the car we turned to see the cove … which was now absolutely rammed and did not look fun!

I visited Kynance Cove on Friday 8 August 2025 with my partner and three children. I drove in from Lizard Point Holiday Park which is only a ten minute drive away. It is signposted and easy enough to find the carpark. To experience the full beauty of this beach and to make a day of it I would recommend visiting on a day when it is low tide as this is a tidal beach. The low tide was around 11.30am during my visit with high tide around 5pm so this was the perfect day to visit. You can google the tide times. I would also recommend arriving early and being prepared to avoid the masses. On arrival staff were directing people on where to park in an organised fashion. There is the main carpark then a large overflow carpark with ample spaces to park and you are directed where to park on busy days during peak times. I paid five pounds for up to four hours. It is ten pounds for up to eight hours and free to park if you are a member of the national trust. You would need your NT card to scan. It is cash only or download the Just Park app before you arrive as the signal is hit and miss here. There are toilets on the main carpark and toilets down at the cafe on the beach. The beach is located about a ten minute walk from the carparks with staff to assist anyone with questions. The main route down to the beach is not suitable for prams or beach trolleys. After a few minutes there are steps to navigate and on entrance to the beach it is rocky and uneven. I advise to have a rucksack or suitable bag and to to take it easy with children. Its hard going on the way back up especially if its a hot day. It is well worth it though. The views on the way down are stunning and reveals the full beauty of Kynance Cove. When at the bottom you are surrounded by beautiful serpentine cliffs and rocks which splits the beach up into different sections with different parts of the sea to go in if you wish to. The sea is turquoise and its such a picturesque beach. There is plenty of rockpools and caves for the children to play in and there are plenty of areas to set up on the sand. Its a beautiful place and gives you the feeling you are secluded on a secret beach that only reveals itself at certain times. This beach is not lifeguarded and the tide can come in very quickly and if unaware you could become trapped in areas but people were aware of this when I was there. There is signage to make people aware. There is a mermaid pool at the far end of the beach where some of the adults were jumping into from around 25 feet by climbing up a rock. It is well known for this. The access to this is quite tricky with younger children as you have to wade through the sea at around three feet deep and next to the cliffs it can be quite rough with the waves crashing onto them. There is a cafe located a couple of minutes walk up uneven terrain at the entrance to the beach. It sells ice cream and other food such as chips etc and the toilets are located near to the cafe with a little shower outside. The cafe are helpful with any allergies and will try to offer options. They seemed educated on coeliacs as my daughter is a coeliac. They offered her ice cream separate from the back to avoid cross contamination. The tide came in quick and we spent three and a half hours on the beach before the trek back up. It is well worth the visit to this famous cove and the views and scenery are beautiful. There are also coastal walks you can do and some people seemed to be arriving later to do this as all of it will be submerged at high tide. On exiting the carpark it can be quite tight due to how the staff pack the cars in but we had no problems.

The national trust car park is open all hours so perfect for late evening/early morning visits, plenty of parking spaces available within the main car park and overflow. Kynance Cove itself is stunning and one of the highlights of our Cornwall trip. Such a nice place to swim, or have a scenic coffee break. Some nice coastal walks surrounding the area, with pathways to Lizard point.

We all loved this Cove. It was on my daughter's bucket list to do. While we were on holiday in Cornwall. The café was very busy but very well run.

Been a while lovely to return. Loving the blues of the hydrangea. Free use of a tramper is a good addition for those who need assistance. Great day to chill on the beach before the hike back up. The new to us walled garden was worth a visit.

Random visit for us as we had planned other places, very glad we went. It poured with rain the whole time but this made it feel even more special. The plants and walks around are amazing and a kid park for the kids to enjoy. Would 100% recommend to all.

Wow what an amazing garden! It's got so many fascinating plants and all grown with so much vigor! The garden is in a valley so you walk down one side and walk back up the other. The paths are well maintained but there's a lot of walking up slopes. Lovely icecream shop by the beach.

A beautiful garden, with a rich variety of plants set in a very special location. The cafe food was excellent quality too, it was fairly priced for what you receive and I would definitely visit to enjoy it again. Entry cost for your ticket is quite pricey which is my only reservation which will stop me returning too regularly- but I'd highly recommend and it's certainly worthwhile.

We went with a coach party and parking wasn't a problem. The garden reminded me of the Gardens of Heligan but on a smaller scale and with less diversity of plants. The planting includes lots of bamboo, hydrangeas and tree ferns. The paths wind their way down to the beach where there is a cafe with outside tables. You can do a circular walk to return to the car park. There is a shop, cafe, toilets and small plant centre before the exit.

My wife and I loved this ravine garden... Excellent parking, very modern visitor centre with toilets, cafe and customer seating..helpful staff for regular and first time visitors...shop for gifts and plants. Very clear map of paths leading down to the beach with hard standing area, picnic benches and (on our visit) the option of tea coffee ice cream and snacks... wonderful views across the Helford estuary.

Absolutely beautiful gardens, we visited beginning of July 2025. Can choose between easy or more hilly walk around the grounds. We took our dog who also loved it. You can take your dog into the cafe which is great. Highly recommend a visit.

Had a couple of trips here during our holiday in Gweek , once you have brought your ticket you can go as many times as you like for a year! Fantastic views here and plenty of places to have a picnic as well as look at the seals and puffins . Didn’t see any beavers in the secret creek but a nice woodland walk to their home . Recommend buying tickets in advance to get a good discount

Truly a heart warming and wonderful place. The programme they follow to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home the seals is magnificent. If you watch the Puffins long enough they start doing all manor of silly things. Even though the beaver was asleep, to see what they achieve with their forest management skills is amazing. The farm animals are lovely. And the Ancient forest the sanctuary is set on is oozing history. Im excited to come again and see where they have gotten upto with their remodeling of some of the enclosures for the seals. The plans they have on show look needed, beneficial and helpful in the sanctuaries future goals. Highly recommend. Oh...and the gift shops great too!

What a spot! We did the VIP breakfast and Dawson was a fantastic tour guide and the breakfast hit the spot. I would 100% recommend a visit and you could definitely spend a few hours or a morning just wondering around and watching the seals and other wildlife. If your in the area stop in...

Would definitely recommend!! Very sweet to see the seals. And what a beautiful setting to be in. Got to do the quiz whilst we walked around which was a challenge even for us adults!! Lots of parking. We went at 10 am on a Sunday at the end of September. There is a cafe there but we didn't use it. Lots of talks and feeding to watch. Didn't manage to see the beavers unfortunately. Long walk to do and picnic areas. Would be a good half day to a day activity. Kid friendly and wheelchair/ push chair friendly.

It's a lovely place if you fancy a small day out. You can explore the whole place within a couple hours, which isn't a bad thing especially if you are taking your time or with children. The talks they have are very informative, they have a food and drinks shop located at the centre of the ground, which is also next to the children's play area. Overall I really enjoyed my day out here, it was fun seeing all the seals and other animals having a nice time.

Fantastic exhibits with great live talks giving insights into the history and day to day activities of the sanctuary. The seals are adorable and full of personality! I loved the nature walk portions where you can fully experience the beauty of Gweek (and maybe spot a few cheeky beavers.)

I wanted to come here for a while, but holiday days & timings just didn't seem to work out, but this week I finally managed it & I was not disappointed at all. From the warm welcome as you enter, this place just feels so warm & enjoyable as you walk around to meet with the seals, etc. We were able to listen to the talks & experience the fun & joy during the seals feeding time. The team taking care of these animals were helpful, knowledgeable & clearly love their jobs & time spent with them. A great visit & time for us spent walking the park taking photos, plus a well enjoyed cup of tea in the sunshine. Thanks to all the team during our visit, we plan to visit again ASAP.

Ah Flambards! What trip to Cornwall would be complete without a visit here!? Is it stuffed full with rides? Nope, but it doesn't need to be! It's lowered it's prices because many of the big rides are no longer running, couple big ones remain and lots of smaller ones, a great place to visit for under 12s I'd say. Where you really get your moneys worth is the big soft play area with decent hot food and friendly staff, the victorian streets area is awesome, we loved it and the blitz area is really interesting too! A half day out, and a very good one at that!

I think its great how they have cheaper days so you can just visit the Victorian village and indoor attractions, £8 on I think Tuesday and Thursday it was perfect for us as we don't like rides so would have paid well over the odds just to stay inside I think its £22 on the other days, I have to say the Victorian Village was absolutely amazing I loved it, it truly felt like you had gone back in time and was walking the street past all the shops they were all so detailed with real props we had an excellent time I honestly can't believe how good it was, I hope I can go back again soon and I highly recommend a visit just to see these indoor exhibits, the ladies in the shop after were fantastic really knowledgeable about all off it and seemed passionate about the collection she was even kind enough to find some penny's from the penny press for me as it was out of order and I'm an avid collector! Excellent experience 👏

It's small, but good for smaller kids and indoor play is included, but was a little disappointing for my elder daughter as there weren't many rides suitable for her, but it's also not any where near as expensive as other similar places. Would we go again? Yes, knowing exactly what it is, it's worth it. My younger girls loved it!

Well, we’re can I start……. Absolutely fantastic brilliant place. I had read some reviews that it was “dated” etc, but I found this place extremely well manicured and looked after, it was a very pleasant surprise. The rides were fantastic for all ages and my kids absolutely loved their day out, as did I!!! Not much ques at all for the rides the kids were absolutely delighted. Spotless clean park, the rides in great order and all the staff were lovely people. I and my family will definitely be back and anyone I know on holiday down these parts I will make sure they know about this place. 10/10

Great little theme park with some little rides for the little ones and a few bigger rides for the older ones. Lots of information about the exhibits there and a wonderful Victorian town recreation, so things for people of all ages. There is also access for wheelchairs everywhere and a very good accessable changing room. The staff were great and the atmosphere was excellent.

Went with the grandchildren, ages 14-7 They loved it. It's not the cheapest place to visit but it appears to be well worth the money if you decide to go. There really ia something for every taste and age. They offer cheaper family tickets and a free return ticket. Often the local paper has vouchers, particularly during school holidays, to get discounted entry. Definitely worth picking up a "Cornishman" or similar if you are visiting the area

I was having low expectations here after looking at the recent bad reviews at this place. But this very tiny theme park is actually pretty lovely and fun! My favourite rides here were the log flume and the drop tower! Their only rollercoaster was closed, probably for maintenance. The go karts were an extra £5. I wasn't a big fan of the bumper cars and the waltzer here though and they didn't offer enough food options here though. But I mostly had a fun time! I also find it weird how it's dog friendly especially since it's a theme park. Overall, I highly recommend it!

A very nice experience. Make sure to wear suitable footwear such as trainers as paths can be difficult to climb or slippery ( depending on the weather ). I had a fun time climb walking up and down and the view was beautiful. Inside the castle was very interesting.

£28 to visit the castle/gardens, and £3 for the boat. I've always wanted to visit here, and glad that I finally have. I think it is overrated. The parking situation is a nightmare. The walk over the causeway was the only fun/interesting part. The walk upto the castle wasn't particularly challenging or difficult as I am able bodied, but several people did seem to find it challenging on such a hot day. Anyone with mobility or health issues will need to reassess visiting, as there are no wheelchair routes/ramps and the ground in several places is loose/cobble/rocky, with large steps and often you have to scramble up parts of the path. The shops are staggeringly overpriced, and we avoided buying anything from them. The garden was predominantly a large selection of succulents and palms with nothing of interest. The castle, wasn't particularly interesting with only a small potion of it accessible. The "gallery" they have on the way out had some interesting pictures/paintings but no information to give context to them. You can quite easily walk around the garden and castle within an hour. As others have mentioned, the causeway is tidal so make sure you are aware of the times as several people did get caught out while we were there.

St Michael’s Mount is amazing, the short boat ride to the Island followed by a short walk to the top gave beautiful views of the mainland. The castle and church and small are beautiful and very well maintained. My only tip would be to turn up early as it gets very busy once the tide goes out and walkway becomes usable.

Very beautiful historical site, and an enjoyable walk when the weather is right. Although I’d definitely avoid when rainy or windy. Went on a bank holiday Monday and there were quite a few rude tourists around which was unpleasant, but didn’t sour the experience for my family. The price for entry is very dear for what you get, but if you enjoy history, a good walk, or a beautiful view of the city then it is definitely worth it! (Plus, if you’re lucky you can see seals just outside the island!

The highest spot amongst the area, so you can see far distance when you stand at the top of the castle. The things exhibit in the castle didn’t catch much of my interest, only the huge spoon for roasting coffee beans at the time that when coffee introduced to the UK. The rest interesting would be maps to me.

Simply beautiful!! Be aware of a few things, I came in a rainy day, at 9.45 am the tides were off until 2pm-ish but not to worry you can take the boat back if you missed the walk back. Anyway, the road to the castle involves old made stairs out of rock which can be slippery if you don't have proper shoes, Okies am uneven terrain as well. It takes about 10-15 minutes up the castle. The views are stupendous 😁 I came when the gardens were closed, sad, I've read good thing about it, but next time I'll check when they're open so I can visit again.

It’s brilliant here! Keep an eye on the tide times so you can walk over the causeway, otherwise you need to get a boat. We had National Trust memberships so got to visit the castle for free. We went in the first week of September and dogs weren’t allowed, so just double check if it is out of season. Lots to do and see, and the castle is beautiful! Quite a few steps to go up and it’s very steep, so also worth bearing in mind.

If you like Barbra Hepworth this is such a special museum. There's a lot of information about her life and you can see her studio where she worked. The garden is my favourite spot. It's one a beautifully peaceful place where you can walk or sit and look at her sculptures and the gardens that surround them. You can imagine how carefully she placed the sculptures because each of them seems to be framed by the others in some way. A visit to St Ives is not complete without a pilgrimage to this place, in my opinion.

What beautiful place! Well kept gardens provide the backdrop for Barbara Hepworth’s perfect sculptures & artwork. We visited on a Sunday morning which was pretty quiet & felt miles away from the crowds of the town. Great place for some inspiration!

absolutely beautiful. so well curated. super small location with it being Hepworth's house but its incredibly welcoming and inspiring. staff are all wonderfully friendly. there was a school trip happening on my visit which slightly hindered my experience but once they left it was beautifully tranquil. could spend all day there. joined tate collective for 16-25 year olds and only paid £5 for a ticket but itd be worth any price. already want to return

The museum's atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. Whether you're a seasoned museum -goer or just looking for an inspiring way to spend your afternoon, Barbara Hepworth Museum is a truly enriching experience that you won't want to miss.

I’m not a great fan of Hepworth’s work, but when in St Ives… it’s expensive for what, in essence is a ten minute walk around a garden. I’ve been told since, that the ticket also allows entry to the Tate, which if true, provides better value. However, there were no signs advertising this, and no talk of it at either reception desk, so perhaps the deal has been discontinued. For lovers of Barbara Hepworth it’s a must-see, of course, but I found very little to love in her sculptures.

The sculptor's home and garden provides a delightful setting for her sculptures. Her workshop shows the effort required to deliver such complex pieces of art

While it maybe a small museum it is well worth a visit. The sculpture garden is full of her amazing sculptures- well worth taking the time to walk around and view the sculptures from different angles

visited Tate St Ives and it felt like art meeting the ocean. The building itself is bright and open, almost sculpted by the sea breeze. I loved how the light poured in, making every piece feel alive. The works of Hepworth and Nicholson connected beautifully with the town’s spirit. The changing exhibitions kept it fresh and surprising. And stepping outside—those beach views were a masterpiece on their own.

Wide selection of thought-provoking modern art, including a Kandinsky and large-scale installations. Great cafe on top, with super views of St Ives.

don’t even know where to begin… the outside facade and the architecture in this building is amazing! sees one of the most wonderful beaches from the top and the waves are so peaceful. yet i had low expectations of its curation based on reviews here. i visited with my 6 yo daughter and i could not even do justice in close to three hours. the pieces are so good, galleries are so distinct, installations and interactives are balanced with laintings, and the works are amazing. staff was super helpful. shop selection especially books were lovely. i visited london tate many times for free but this experience was worth more than the 14£ ticket price. cafe was crowded as it can be visited for free but the best view is from the galleries.

a lovely experience! most of the reviews i read said they were disappointed and that it wasnt worth the visit however the collection of art is beautiful though perhaps not accessible to those not into modern art. even still, i think the environment and the building itself its worth the visit - though i did get slightly lost and the gallery is smaller than i expected. even saying that, i could spend hours in here staring at the pieces. the cafe and shop are lovely too. staff are kind and welcoming. bought tickets online as part of the 16-25 tate collective for £5 which is well worth it!! maybe not worth anymore if youre not into modern art though.

The building itself is a beautiful round landmark overlooking Portmeor Beach. We stopped by for a short break and enjoyed a cream tea at the café on the 4th floor. The view was amazing, the cream tea was delicious, and the staff were super friendly

Setting is amazing right by the sea, with a good cafe at the top selling nice, good value food. The main collection is small but interesting. I loved the exhibition.

Lovely gallery the big round building is beautiful and as you go in there are some sheltered outdoor seating area with cushions which is a nice spot to relax. Tickets can be purchased as you go in, and the galleries are on the third floor, there is a lift. On the fourth floor there is a gift shop and a cafe. We sat on the balcony. Amazing views of the sea.

The cafe lives up its reviews. The food was unique and tasty, and the service was good. It was a busy day, and after a parking nightmare, we were an hour late - but they called me, and they accommodated us. Even in the restaurant we had to move table and they were super proactive and helpful.

Absolutely superb breakfast, in a wonderful cafe with incredible views. The place is amazing, sat on the cliff face with the beach and sea right opposite, the views are superb. They have various seating areas, inside, in the pods (recommended) or on the benches on the lower level. The service was immaculate, they look after you, are set up with colouring kits for kids etc. We both had the Build Your Own breakfasts with various items. All were superb. Really really good. Cannot recommend highly enough and we’ll be back for a lunch or dinner in the next day or so. Loved it. Edited the review to reflect that we also had our evening meal here. And what a place! If you book at the right time you get to see a stunning sunset. Food wise the evening menu was delicious. We really enjoyed it. We shared scallops, pork tacos, crispy sea bass, tortilla, tomato and moz salad. The little fella had, as usual, chicken and chips.

Amazing food with an even better view! We tried the tapas — halloumi, crab croquettes, scallops, and beetroot salad — all delicious, the scallops were a first for me (and did not disappoint!). Perfect spot to relax with a drink while looking out over Porthmeor Beach.

Fabulous! Definitely one of our new favourite spot in Cornwall to enjoy the ocean view and good quality food! Service impeccable! We spend around £40/50 pp because we had 2 beers and 2 glasses of Prosecco, otherwise we would have spent around £30 each tasting quality food! Highly recommended!

Always a first choice for me if having lunch or dinner. Great tapas selection and the food is spot on. Lovely beach/sea view. Friendly attentive staff. Highly recommend.

Had dinner with friends here on our last night in St Ives. We booked a pod that came with spectacular views of the beach and a beautiful sunset. The food was really good, the star of the show was the crispy sea bass but was impressed with all the dishes we had. Service was faultless, nothing was too much trouble. Anyone who visits here will be in for a treat but make sure you book in advance as it gets very busy.

Amazing restaurant over looking the delightful porthmeor beach. Worth a visit to watch sunset, surfing, and seagulls. Delicious food, great service and good value. Will be back!

Amazing little place. Definitely book your ticket in advance. It is around £12 per person. It is a quick look around; the place is quite small but worth the visit. The experience is unforgettable. The view, the scenery, everything is so beautiful. Even the cafe offers an amazing experience and view. Worth the visit at least once in a lifetime. #travelwithtentbox

Great place and fantabulous views of the cliff and the sea! Mesmerising view of the turquoise blue sea! We went on dry sunny day and loved the views and the place. Amazing architecture and would get some worthy snaps! Sarah and Jane in the helpdesk ticket centre were very kind and helpful and sorted all our clarifications!

Highly recommend watching a show, it’s the most unique backdrop for a theatre. Worth paying for a seat close up as it’s not that much more expensive. Bring a jacket, cushion to sit on as it’s concrete or grass. And bring your own snacks too. Turn up an hour early to park up and get the best seats in the area you bought tickets for. If you’re booking a taxi, make sure it arrives early before the show ends otherwise they’ll be stuck on the single track lanes

What a surreal visit! Totally beautiful amd so many nooks and crannies to see. Our visit was cut slightly short due to a theatre group using it to practice (which was awesome, they were doing we will rock you!) But we saw enough to be wowed.

Absolutely lovely place. Great views over the sea, fabulous gardens and a historic amphitheatre too. They still have plays occasionally, we were lucky enough to go on a day that a man was doing a talk as a gardener from years gone by.

Fantastic place. Just the history of it is mind boggling. What a woman of great strength and determination. Although there was no show on, just to walk amongst the structures, plants and museum. Great cafe and the views!! Breathtaking

What an absolutly fantastic experience The Minack Theatre’s history talk Meet Billy Rawlings" talks: Actor Mark Harandon portrays Billy Rawlings, the gardener who helped Rowena Cade build the theatre. These talks happen on selected days, The theatre also offers a dedicated Rowena Cade exhibition and virtual experiences that walk visitors through its creation and legacy. If you're planning a visit or want to catch a live talk, it's best to check their official site or contact them directly for the latest schedule and speaker details.

A must visit area of Cornwall if you're visiting nearby offering incredible views across the coast. We even got lucky enough to spot a seal and spent an hour just watching the dolphins! We got there early before 10am and the place was very quiet, an hour later once the coaches arrive it starts to feel very much like the busy tourist attraction and gets crowded quickly. Getting there early allowed us to take photos in front of the sign without the huge crowds. The sign is now behind a rope where you have to pay £10 for a photo if you want to stand near it. The coastal walks either side are impressive and not too difficult to navigate - there's a ship wreck about a 15 minute walk to the right of the sign which is well worth a visit. And the archway to the left. The food is average at best but also very expensive so would recommend bringing your own. We did the adventure golf which to our surprise was really well done. 15 holes in various pirate themed areas with high production value. It's definitely worth a visit for the stunning landscapes above all else. You can ignore the rest of the experiences but can see why they'd help engage younger visitors. £9 to park all day.

Land's End is beautiful in a rugged way. The views are spectacular on a fine day and even when the weather has closed in the wild wind blown atmosphere of west Cornwall is hard to beat. So why does anyone think a bit of crazy golf and a 4D cinema built in a layout similar to a motorway services is just what you need here? I recommend you park at Sennen Cove Harbour Car Park and walk over to Land's End (15-20 min walk), avoiding the service station vibes. There's a 2 or 2.5 hr circular walk via Nanjizal and then back inland across the fields that's very scenic. (Update: the fact there's a Land's End account that responded to my view kind of illustrates my point - does wild nature need a marketing team and amusement park?)

Land’s End is one of those rare places that combines natural beauty with a sense of history and wonder. Standing at the westernmost tip of mainland England, you’re greeted by sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and rugged cliffs that stretch dramatically into the horizon. The coastal walks here are spectacular, offering a chance to soak in Cornwall’s wild landscape while spotting seabirds and, if you’re lucky, even dolphins. The iconic Land’s End signpost makes for a classic photo opportunity, and the visitor centre provides helpful exhibits and amenities without taking away from the natural charm of the spot. Sunset is especially magical, as the sky meets the sea in vibrant colours. Whether you’re there for a quick stop or a long coastal hike, Land’s End truly lives up to its name — it feels like the edge of the world, and it’s a must-visit on any trip to Cornwall.

Great place to visit, especially if you like nature and hiking. Even for those who cannot hike you can take some walks and still see some of the nice cliffs. Some walking paths are manageable to do so. For those who are more able to hike can use trails along the coast. Just beautiful.

This is a big tourists attraction with multiple shops, 4D cinema, and crazy golf etc, which spoils it in a way as it's overly commercial. It's amazing once you get past that to stand out on lands end and look at the breathtaking scenery though. Beware that if you want photos next to the old sign you have to pay, so we stood with it in the background for a selfie! There's a big carpark which you have to pay to use.

Had a cracking time at Land's End! The views were stunning, and the coastal path was a great way to take it all in. The cafe had decent grub and a warm welcome. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! 🌊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿"

There are a lot of things to do / visit, surroundings. It's a beautiful place and I was lucky to be 20 degrees outside but very very windy, but I think it's always like that because it's next to the cliffs and sea. Anyway, great experience, and the parking here is free for 20 minutes and£7.5 all day for the cars and vans, and£4 for motorbikes There are no alternatives to pay by hour.

10 minute walk off local road by one of several footpath routes. Very good burial chamber in pristine condition. Also remains of hut circles. Huge views across to Bryher and Tresco

A very evocative location to imagine the small settlement that existed here between the iron age and medieval times. A handful of information signs outline the number of dwellings and the scant information that archeological digs have unearthed. Above the remains of the huts lies the much older burial chamber. As you gaze at over the village at the coast and islands yonder it's not hard to let your imagination take you back to a previous age, making this an atmospheric site. The only distraction being the tall communications tower looming large if you look in the wrong direction. A pity it was not suitated a little further away. A reasonable level of fitness is needed to reach the site if walking from the quay at Hugh Town. We managed to walk to and fro, visit Juliet's Garden cafe for a drink and comsume some sandwiches in the four hour gap between arriving on St Mary's from the tripper boat and departing on the ferry, but we didn't have much time to spare (we don't have a very brisk walking pace).

Incredible to visit such an old (2000BC) burial site and intact village (800BC), for free, with no one else there, in August. We wondered around with the kids for ages, enjoying discussing what was there and the view across the scillys.

Stunning views at this amazing historical ancient landscape. The people who lived here for 1,000 years definitely chose a fab location!

Love the seal sanctuary. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and Ray and Diego live there - they are so worth the visit.

A well preserved prehistoric village locate on the northeast corner of St. Mary's, easy to navigate and well maintained. If the weather's good, great spot for a spot of lunch or evening stroll to watch stunning sunsets over Tresco and Bryher

Prehistoric sites litter the isles of Scilly - some are wild and overgrown and some are well developed and signed. Bant's Carn burial chamber falls into the latter category and the site also includes a small ancient settlement which has also been excavated. Unless you have a particular interest in things prehistoric this is probably not a destination in itself, but as part of a walk around the coast it is well worth stopping off en route to take a look.

Such a beautiful walk... Amazing scenery... An incredible gem in d gorgeous Ardmore ❤️

What a lovely spot for a wee walk ❤️ the views are breath taking, I would really recommend 👌

Absolutely amazing! Me and some friends made the hiking on a drizzle Saturday morning, and it was simply perfect! The walk takes you like one hour to complete, but we completed in two hours and some minutes - stopping to take pictures, eat some sweet blackberries and just look to the cliffs and reflect such great and perfect the nature are. You can stop during your journey to appreciate the huge views and also the little castle almost on the middle of the walk. I definitely recommend, you won’t regret!

Lovely walk with stunning views, calm vibes, and easy access. Not too busy, which is rare these days! Shame about the new fence — it’s not exactly a work of art — but the scenery steals the show.

Wow what a walk and what a lovely town! I think other reviews have already appreciated the beautiful views so I won't go into it but I can confirm that you can do this walk with a buggy too :) there are a few steps in the beginning where you will need to carry the buggy so if your kid is big enough to stand by the side you can manage. And also in the beginning there is a steep slope rising so I'd recommend 2 adults for pushing the buggy. But you will not regret for sure.

Short walk... ok... nothing spectacular... just a nice stroll...

Must visit when you are in Youghal, it’s beautiful to walk in here , makes ur mind calm and relaxed ☺️

This is my second time going to St Mary's we just had to take my mother-in-law when we were in the area, they now have a virtual tour guide which gives you more information about the buildings history etc

The Graveyard Trail was stunning - beautiful views from the top, and church itself is beautiful, both inside and outside. Really glad we discovered it when visiting Youghal.

Fascinating place tucked away in this small beachside town. I stumbled across it on a morning run when we first moved to the country. Beautiful just to walk the grounds, but the inside is even better, as it is set up to be like a museum with lots of detail about its history and the artifacts found during renovation. You can drive your car up, but it is quite tight. I would recommend walking. The cemetery around the grounds are fascinating, and parts of the old town walls are still standing. Must see if in Youghal imo.

Beautiful. Really beautiful. Especially with the graveyard around it. It's looking very historical and nice. I'm from Germany and have seen the cathedrals from cologne and Paderborn and I wasn't as much impressed. It looks way more historic and is really nice. You can also get a nice view over the town from the top of the old city walls at the top of the graveyard.

This is an amazing church that has been in continuous use since the 12th century. Well worth the visit - just a beautiful structure. You can walk on the ramparts of the original city walls that surround part of the cemetery as well. Deserves at least an hour - well worth stopping in Youghal to see it.

Have passed through Youghal many times, today I had a walk around the town, back streets steeped in history, this beautiful church well worth a visit, very impressed with the presentation of its history, beautiful building and grounds

This is a must visit when in the area, rich in history in a town steeped in history. One the oldest and largest remaining intact lead windows in all of europe and much more, dating back to 13th century.

Lismore Garden in Waterford is a stunning, well-maintained heritage site with vibrant flowerbeds and peaceful walkways. The setting is serene, ideal for a relaxing stroll or quiet reflection. The views of Lismore Castle add a magical touch to the experience. It’s a hidden gem for nature and history lovers alike. Highly recommended for a tranquil day out. Ticket for the garden entry. Adults 10 euros and cards accepted

We loved our visit to the lismore castle and gardens. We spend 4 hours just exploring the lush grounds with all its different trees and flowers. I very much recommend a visit on a sunny day. They do offer a picnic package as well, that we haven't tried yet but will, soon enough. There is a cafe, that serves very good coffee and cakes!

Massive expansion I went to the gardens years ago and was underwhelmed being honest and decided I wouldn't bother go back again. I went there in June 2025 with a friend and was amazed at all the effort and work that has been put into the walks and gardens since that time. There are nice walks, interesting gardens and lovely views of the castle. They even have 2 large segments of the original Berlin Wall.

Lovely garden, lots of colour and verity in the plants. Well worth a visit. The castle is not open to the public.

Spellbound by the visit. A very interesting garden with completely different areas, Only one thing in common. They are all beautiful

Lovely places, you can having a coffee and pastries 🍰 😀. 10,50 this the prise fir one adult tickets 🎟. You have a vegetables stand.

Lovely place to walk around, although dissapointing for inability to see the castle due to the fact that it is not open to the public

Good historical tour of a famous distillery. Unfortunately most of the tour take place in more of a distillery museum and not a functioning distillery. You do see their small batch, micro distillery area but nothing that will really wow you. I’m comparing it to Beam or Heaven Hill in KT here. Not a knock on the tour just setting expectations. Was really looking forward to the smells of fermentation and distillation. Beautiful, grounds, lots of history, great gift shop, set on a large industrial facility. The people we interacted with appear to truly enjoy working there. Great place to visit, but parking can be a challenge. If you’re in the area and into Whiskey, stop by. Small coffee shop that had sweets and if I remember correctly sandwiches.

We went to the Middleton distillery earlier today for the tour tour as part of a team building activity and we had a great time. Our tour guide was extremely interactive and kept the momentum of the tour going good. She also respected the time crunch, but at the same time gave us a comprehensive tour of the distillery. Overall great experience and definitely recommended

We joined the “Midleton Distillery Experience & Premium Whiskey Tasting” tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, answered everyone’s questions, and even recommended whiskeys based on each person’s taste preferences. During the standard tasting, we tried Jameson, Green Spot, Redbreast 10, and Redbreast 12. For the premium tasting, we sampled Jameson Black Barrel, Powers, Redbreast 15, and Midleton Very Rare — all excellent choices. The cafe area is perfect for having breakfast or enjoying a cup of coffee, while the shop offers a great selection of gifts for every budget — perfect for yourself or a loved one. The bar area has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere where you can enjoy whiskey or other drinks even if you’re not touring the museum. A wonderful experience overall — thank you, Jameson!

It was an amazing experience! We joined the Distiller’s Apprentice Tour and got to taste so many incredible whiskies, including some rare cask expressions, which was a real treat. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour both fun and informative. The bar area and gift shop were also great with plenty to explore. Definitely worth a visit!

One of the best tours we did on our 4 week driving holiday of Ireland. Staff were informative and genuinely nice people. We also did the extra tasting, well worth it. This place is beautiful!

We had a great experience on the tour. The tasting was fantastic and the history was awesome to learn about. I would recommend giving yourself about 90 minutes to complete the tour. It is definitely worth the stop, even if it is out of your way.

This was a fantastic tour, worth every minute. You’ll tour the old distillery, learn how they made whiskey, see some really cool artifacts, then sample some great whiskey. After you can order as you wish at their bar Aiofe did such a great job. Parking is free on a Sundays

Nice trip filled with information. Just enough time to walk through the main routes. Very limited food options so taking your own is recommended. Overall clean and safe.

Great tour to Spike Island. Interesting and fun story about this place. Definitely worth a visit.

Great place to visit. 15 minutes by ferry from cobh. Better to pay and park near cobh church . It takes around 4 hours to cover the island. There is a toilet and a small cafeteria on the island. Before going check the weather if it's raining you can't enjoy the island

Great place to wile away an afternoon. Boat trip over and back from Cobh (about 10 mins each way ) and a 40 min tour guide included for about 25 euro per adult. Small cafe on site. bring a picnic, have a beer, walk, chill on the grass, however you want to spend your afternoon. It’s wheelchair accessible for the most part and just so well kept - good walking trek for Trekkies and for Irish history buffs it is a complete must. Super to meet all the friendly tour guides when we were there, João, Marion, Rob, Aine and Kealan. ( really hope I spelt all your names okay.) whose knowledge about the place was impressive. Thank you guys for making our day. Best to book in advance especially when the weather is good.

Visited Spike Island, had a wonderful day and great walk for almost 5 hours.

October 2022: we ended up going to Spike Island on the recommendation from our BnB host. We had a great time on the ferry over, and the tour was informative without being overdone. The island itself has lots of information on placards, and if you’re not into going into the prison there’s lots of lovely walks outside. We found lots of berry bushes and little goats. Be sure to dress for the weather; we started the day with sun and a bit of wind, and throughout the day the wind picked up and we ended up in a cold rainstorm. Since this was at the end of tourism season, we made sure to pack a small picnic as the tour lasts an entire day and the small café on the island was closed.

A great morning out ,with a trio across by ferry to the island, reasonably priced, very informative about the history of the island and its firmer uses, however I was a bit disappointed that the history of the Irish Denence Forces use and military presence on the island from 1938 up to the 1982 when it became a civilian prison seems to have been airbrushed out of the official history given by our tour guide, limited option for food otherwise lovely day out.

We purchased timed tickets in advance for this experience. It was worth a visit. The first half of the tour is guided with lots of good information. The second half is self-guided with even more information. It was a neat experience to be in the same spot that some of our distant relatives were in when they boarded here for America. We also got to find more information on the people from our family who boarded the boat here. Definitely recommend this tour. I have not visited the museum in Belfast but two of my family members did. They liked that this experience was completely different than the one in Belfast. They thought it was cool to have done both.

As you know, Titanic had some here in this town as the last port of call before its tragedy, therefore this museum is quite significant to the shipliner. Very well displayed and interesting. Staff was very friendly. This visited it a guided visit and you cannot visit without a tour guide.

Missed the tour in Belfast,but thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Was a small group, was given a boarding ticket as you enter, and was told of you survived the voyage at the end. Great information from the staff. Nice souvenir shop aswell.

A moving and thought provoking guided experience. Based in the original White Star ticket office from where Titanic left her last stop having picked up Irish Emigrants and a few better-off passengers. You get a replica ticket with a real name and discover their individual fate at the end of the tour.

Nice little tour through the former White Star Pier and Office building. Where the last pessengers embarked to their journey on Titanic. You are given a Ticket of one of these last 127 Passengers, to follow the path of their destiny. The Tour then gives you impressions on how your individual passenger experienced the journey. It is a nice Concept.

Fabulous little museum. Loved the guided tour which took us around what was the original White Star Line ticket office with rooms set up as cabins, and past the remains of the original pier which was quite poignant. The exhibition space at the end was packed full of information but not overwhelming. We spent about an hour here which was about right. Staff were helpful and very friendly. Highly recommend.

I really liked it! The girl who gave the tour and told us everything..., with such soul - super! It was as if she transferred us to that time. I recommend everyone who comes to Cobh to visit this museum

One of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world. A very special place for many reasons. Im not religious but when I go there I feel complete. Highly recommend a visit. Sit, have a prayer, be thankful.

Imposing building dominating the Cobh skyline. The interior is as beautiful as the exterior is strong. Must be an incredible place to worship when full. Some wonderful stained glass and a good-looking organ with its pipes high up, just under the window at the south end. There's a bit of a climb to reach it but we'll worth the effort. There was even a peregrine falcon perched in one of the turrets.

St. Colman’s Cathedral is a stunning neo-Gothic masterpiece overlooking the sea in Cobh. The cathedral is impressively large and beautifully detailed, both inside and out. Unlike many others, its interior truly preserves the essence of the neo-Gothic style, with magnificent arches, stained glass windows, and intricate stonework. Entry is free, making it an absolute must-see when visiting Cobh.

**Cobh Cathedral (St. Colman's): A Masterpiece of Architecture!** Absolutely stunning! As a tourist, the **architecture** of Cobh Cathedral is truly breathtaking. Its impressive **Gothic Revival design** dominates the skyline, and up close, the intricate stonework, magnificent spires, and beautiful detailing are just incredible. Even without stepping inside, the sheer scale and craftsmanship are a sight to behold. A must-see for anyone who appreciates grand religious architecture!

A beautiful cathedral on top of " the rock" high in the town of Cobh. Its amazing stained glass windows and altar give this church a real sense of grandeur. The views up here are nice as you can almost get a panoramic view of Cobh. Definitely worth the hike up to visit this place.

Beautiful cathedral and scenery. Can see the view of Coby city. Must visit when you are around. Service was on too at the time of visit

We were unable to tour the Cathedral as there was a funeral when we where there. We did not feel comfortable intruding on that. However we had a perfect view from our hotel room and where fascinated with how it's appearance would change with the lighting.

Visiting Fota Wildlife Park was truly an unforgettable experience! The park is beautifully designed, allowing animals to roam in large, naturalistic habitats, which makes the visit feel so unique compared to a traditional zoo. Walking through the open areas and seeing kangaroos, lemurs, and wallabies moving freely around us was magical. The variety of animals is amazing – from majestic giraffes and zebras to playful monkeys and rare species like cheetahs and red pandas. Each enclosure is well maintained, and the educational boards provide great insights about conservation, which shows how much the park cares for both the animals and visitors. The staff were warm, helpful, and passionate about wildlife. Facilities like cafés, picnic areas, and play zones made it a fun, family-friendly experience too. The atmosphere is peaceful, surrounded by greenery, and it’s the perfect place to spend a full day reconnecting with nature. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Cork – whether with family, friends, or even solo. Fota Wildlife Park is not just a day out, it’s an experience full of wonder, learning, and memories that stay with you. 🌿🦒🐒

Fantastic zoo, tons of different exotic animals and some freely roam the site which gives it a nice atmosphere. Feeding times are displayed and if you're lucky enough you can help feed the penguins and other animals. The gift shop is nice, all the pricing here was reasonable, one of the many gems in the south of Ireland. I look forward to coming back here!

I would highly recommend visiting the wildlife park & doing the behind the scenes tour. Willy our tour guide was brilliant, so knowledgeable & passionate about his job which was very telling when every animal came over to see him including the crows 😂. You get up close & personal to some amazing animals & feed them & get to pet some which is an unbelievable experience. Be brought behind the scenes & see how it works. You also get to learn about the conservation work they do which I think is important for everyone to know. Best money spent on doing the tour, would definitely do it again & great to support the animals & cause. Would highly highly recommend

Such a beautiful place. I have a yearly membership so go there every few weeks, I have been more times than I can count but everytime is a different and wonderful experience. Some non dangerous animals are free to roam around so you'll find kangaroos, monkeys, lemurs walking/jumping very close to you (it's unfortunately forbidden to pet them for theirs and yours wellbeing) and the ones in enclosures have really big ones. All of the animals are very well cared for and the staff is always really nice and available to answer questions.

We did a private tour which takes you behind the scenes and allows you to feed the animals. It was a fantastic experience for young or old. Very good price wise too. 195 euros for 6 people. 32.50 per person. I'd highly recommend it, but book well in advance. They take 2 tours a day and are well booked ahead.

It’s an amazing park. I wasn’t sure if I should go to Fota Wildlife or not, because I thought it was just a “zoo”, but it is not, it’s a waaay different experience than I was used to. Definitely worth the visit.

I had a wonderful visit to Fota Wildlife Park! The setting is beautiful and natural, with lots of space for the animals to roam and for visitors to explore. It feels more relaxed and open than a typical zoo, and I loved seeing the animals up close without too many barriers. The park is well-kept, and very family-friendly. Kids absolutely loved it !
