What travellers are saying
- pfefmeisterSan Francisco, CA2,814 contributionsWe 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.Written 13 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- MonkeyManiaTrenton, MI73 contributionsThe 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 interior is simple, except for a few beautiful stained glass windows.Written 22 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christopher NPhoenix, AZ14 contributionsSo 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.Written 19 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.Written 12 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- monroegcrewNew Port Richey, FL66 contributionsWhile 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.Written 10 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
