| ''The town, which is neatly built, has a busy lively look, and is cleaner than the ''
| |
| ''generality of seaports. It can boast but few objects of antiquarian interest, ''
| |
| ''being merely an insignificant village at the beginning of the present century; ''
| |
| ''its subsequent importance has been in a great degree owing to the late war, ''
| |
| ''during which Cork harbour was made a rendezvous station for the British ''
| |
| ''navy. But the town owes its greatest celebrity to the mildness of its climate ''
| |
| ''and its excellent situation, being open to the sea on the south, and encompassed ''
| |
| ''on every other side by high hills, which effectively shelter it from the cold winds.''
| |
| ''This happy position, and the picturesque beauty of its environs, have for many ''
| |
| ''years past made it a favourite resort for numbers of invalids, who as a medical ''
| |
| ''writer remarks, "would otherwise have sought the far-off scenes of Montpellier ''
| |
| ''or Madeira, with their vehement suns and less temperate vicissitudes of climate.''
| |
| ''The many recoveries here have justified the selection, and proved the restorative ''
| |
| ''and invigorating principle of its atmosphere. An admirable equability of climate, ''
| |
| ''and an absence of sudden and violent interruptions, are the great characteristics ''
| |
| ''which have so beneficially marked out this town to the ailing and debilitated, ''
| |
| ''establishing its reputation. ''

| The ancient name of Cove was changed in 1849 to honor the occasion of the landing of Queen Victoria, however in 1922 it reverted back to Cobh of Cork.
