More About Kinsale
Originally a
medieval fishing port, historic Kinsale
(from the Irish, Ceann tSaile - 'Head of
the Sea') is now known as the 'Culinary
Capital of Ireland'. Located on the south
west coast of Ireland, Kinsale is full of
character and charm.

In the 17th
and 18th centuries Kinsale was an important
English naval base, and it still has
a distinct Georgian flavour. With its
yacht-filled harbour, brightly painted
cottages, bow-windowed houses and displays
of flowers in pots, tub and handing
baskets, it marks the beginning of scenic
West Cork, and well deserves it's booming
tourist industry. Only 18 miles from
Cork, it is ideally placed as a deep-sea
angling and yachting centre.

Not
only does this town lay claim to being
the oldest town in Ireland, but it is
also renowned internationally for the
number and quality of restaurants in
the town. It is hailed as the gourmet
capital of Ireland, with no shortage
of pubs and restaurants to suit every
taste. However relaxed or active you
wish to be on your holiday Kinsale allows
you to take things at your own pace. |
