"This is an ok place. Garden is small but flowers were beautiful when we visited. It may be more off of the beaten path for most tourists- but getting here passes through more of the local streets, providing more local vibes."
"Small memorial garden set in the ramparts of an old Fort, next to the harbour masters offices. 15 minutes walk through the far side of town is worth a stroll out but isn't anything particularly special. Nice view out the mouth of the harbour and on the shipping lane so all the cruise ships come very close by."
"The memorial garden is about a 15 minute walk from the center of town. There isn’t a whole lot to see at the garden and honestly may not be worth it if you are pressed for time, but it’s a nice walk that’s mostly along the water and past the local houses. While walking, one of the residents called out to us and waved from his home on the hillside."
"The gardens are not anything special and about 1.5km away from the Titanic experience , along the seafront. The glass/perspective memorial has all the names of those on board who perished. The setting along the seafront provides great views. A few information boards provide some more details about the Titanic owner and other interesting information. It rounds off the whole experience and as it happened we visited on 15 April , 110yrs to the day that the Titanic sank and as luck had it the 1st cruise ship docked in Cobh the morning and sailed past the memorial while we were there"
"There is not too much to see there but it's a nice walk to the place. You are likely to meet friendly Irish people on the way to the garden, who will say Hi to you. You can read a couple of stories there too. Unfortunately there is some rubbish around, and there was a dodgy person with cannabis smell coming from his direction."
