The Titanic Memorial Garden is a small garden in the town of Cobh, County Cork, Ireland. It commemorates the tragic sinking of the Titanic, a liner that sank after colliding with an iceberg in 1912. A place full of emotion, peaceful and exotic, to discover for strollers in search of quiet spots!
The Titanic Memorial Garden is located east of Cobh. It has the advantage of overlooking the magnificent harbor of Lower Cork, with its unobstructed view of the sea and approaching ships.
It’s an ideal place to sit back, relax and enjoy the view, to recharge your batteries and even to meditate.
The Titanic memorial takes the form of engraved glass panes bearing the names of the 123 passengers who boarded Titanic in Queenstown, 79 of whom survived the sinking. A way of remembering those who lived through the tragic episode of April 12, 1912, when the Titanic struck an iceberg.
The area is rather charming. It’s ideal for an impromptu picnic or if you prefer nature to local restaurants.
Although it’s not one of Cobh’s must-sees, we still appreciate its green spaces and tranquility. Admission is free, and there are a few benches where you can take a well-deserved break.
It’s a great way to take a break before heading back to the Irish port city!
