Extra Walking Tours Of Spike Island Over Regatta Weekend

The guided walking tours of Spike Island have been a great success bringing people from all over Munster and Ireland to see the Island and learn of it’s extraordinary history. People are amazed to learn that the fort was never built as a prison but nevertheless was used as one on five occasions in its past. On every day since the tours started there has been a second trip required at 4pm in addition to the scheduled 2pm tour.

Many Cobh people have gone on the tour and came back from the island with a whole new appreciation of it.
