    We walked out to the fort from the harbor, a moderate walk on the way out if you take the high harbor road, and easy coming back on the lower harbor road. This is a well restored fort well worth the visit. Gorgeous views over the bay, nice exhibitions, and just a pleasant stroll through history. We had a perfect sunny day when we visited. It’s about an hour walk to get there. Nice.

    The drive to the museum is very scenic. You can enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean & County Cork. There is a gorgeous beach area. The museum is small but informative & the view is priceless! For added memories, enjoy a meal in nearby Kinsale!

    Staff checked on opening info, gave us ideas and were very knowledgeable. Maps provided and info on the Cobh ferry, which saved us time.

    Booked as part of a hen do activity, Ann was absolutely fabulous in our 2 hour workshop, incredibly knowledgable and helpful as well as lovely! We had a great time making plaques, mugs & a lovely touch for Ann to help us make a keepsake too. Would highly recommend if you’re in Kinsale.

    A little bit hard to find, walked out to it. Well worth the walk as great view of the sea and even though ruins was still very mysterious.
    Close to the lovely beach.

    Now an Anglican Church. The outside is full of centuries old tombstones. The interior is simple, except for a few beautiful stained glass windows.

    So sorry to hear you are closed for the season but...
    I was able to order Blacks in the restaurants around town. Also found in the grocery stores. So not all was lost. Great beers and the tour is a reason to comeback to Kinsale next year! Keep up the amazing work.

    We almost didn't go in here as it doesn't look much from the outside. We were so glad we did. It was free to go in and that was a pleasant surprise. Downstairs they have a room set out with lots of displays of old local items, as if you are looking at a workshop. Upstairs they have lots of information about events in the local area. The volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable. A gentleman gave us lots of additional information about the displays and made sure we didn't miss out on parts he thought we would particularly want to see.

    Lovely little town which we spent a weekend in. Very close to beautiful beaches. Great base for exploring the wild Atlantic way.

    While the majority of our party are Irish, 2 are Vietnam War Veterans so we had to stop. Unfortunately the Medal of Honor went on an exhibit toTampa, Florida so we were not able to see it but they had had some artifacts from 9/11. Worth the quick stop and the curator was welcoming and informative.

    Except for the story as told by our local tour guide, there is not much that indicates the former glory/importance of this structure.
