Honfleur at the mouth of the Seine is one of the most picturesque harbour towns in France. The narrow slate-clad houses around the Vieux Bassin, once home to the Impressionists Monet and Boudin, are among the most painted scenes in Normandy.
In the English Channel, Guernsey serves as the main island of its namesake bailiwick, a British Crown Dependency with its own constitution and tax law. The capital and harbour Saint Peter Port with its 13th-century Castle Cornet watches over the bay, and Victor Hugo's house recalls his years of exile here.
Cowes lies on the north coast of the Isle of Wight on the English Solent and, since 1826, has been one of the world capitals of sailing thanks to Cowes Week. The harbour at the mouth of the River Medina is home to the venerable Royal Yacht Squadron, whose cannon-armed clubhouse starts the annual regatta.
Dartmouth lies at the mouth of the River Dart on the English Channel on the south coast of England in Devon. The Britannia Royal Naval College on the hill above the town has trained Royal Navy officers since 1905, the ferry across to Kingswear plies the river, and 14th-century Dartmouth Castle still guards the estuary.
Colourful harbour town on a sheltered bay in southern Ireland's County Cork, around 30 kilometres south of Cork city. Known as Ireland's culinary capital with starred restaurants, Charles Fort and memorials to the sinking of the Lusitania.
Bantry is a small port town at the head of the deeply incised bay of the same name in south-west Ireland in County Cork. The stately 18th-century Bantry House overlooks the bay with terraced gardens and houses an important collection of European art.
Cork is Ireland's second-largest city, in the south-west on the River Lee, which splits the city centre into two channels. Its adjoining natural harbour ranks after Sydney as the second-largest natural harbour in the world, and the English Market in the centre has been the city's culinary heart since 1788.
