Cork Historic Walking Tours

Cork Historic Walking Tours Since 1998

The Titanic Trail is a Cork historic walking tour created by Dr. Michael Martin. Dr. Martin is a historian who is well versed in the history of the Titanic and the town of Cobh (Queenstown) Co. Cork. Since the inception of the Titanic Trail, it has been covered by BBC television & radio and International broadcasters. The Titanic Trail has a renowned reputation for delivering insightful tours. The Titanic team’s goal is to ensure a great experience is to be had by all.

At the time there was no historical interpretation of the area for visitors. The idea was to create a Cork historic walking tour that tells a story. The vision of this tour, was to explore the heritage of Cobh in Cork Harbour. Being the last port of call of RMS Titanic, Cobh had a story to tell. Hence the beginning of the longest operating Titanic attraction in Ireland.
