Assault Courses,
Archery and
Survival?
It used to be that the exhaustive physical training
incorporating fieldcraft, archery and survival was
only a feature of what you were exposed to when
you joined the military. Nowadays outdoor activity,
pressurised target setting, obstacle courses,
cohesive group tactics and the instillation of the
bonds of comradeship have all been recognised as
positive contributors to a healthy balance of physical
and mental well-being. In the last decade Adventure
centres have been established in many places that
provide the means and the informed expertise that
allows visitors to benefit from such activities while
also mixing a great day out with fun and a sense of
personal achievement. In addition to the fabulous
relaxation spa facilities available at the Fota Island
Resort, Fota Island Adventure now provide all of the
above for visitors who wish to enjoy the benefit of
exciting outdoor activity.

Cobh Museum, housed in the former Scots Presbyterian
Church (built in 1854) has been open since 1973 and plays
an important role in telling the story of this town. Run by a
team of volunteers, it is an unexpected delight to visit, A gem
in Ireland's Ancient East, it stands at the entrance to the town
looking out over Cork Harbour.
Many of the original church furnishings remain, forming a
sympathetic background to the varied and changing
exhibitions. Come through the red door and prepare to be
surprised. You will immediately be immersed in the history
of Cobh (or Queenstown as it was once known). The town,
always associated with ships and shipping, is shown through
photographs and displays which also reveal its social and
commercial history and its strategic role in the maritime and
military history of Cork Harbour. Mementoes of the great
liners, including the RMS Lusitania, sit alongside artefacts
which will spark memories of childhood and the past. Look
out for this year's special exhibition!
