Charles Fort

4.6/5 (134 reviews)
You might want to get your camera out and head to Charles Fort— just one of the landmarks located 1.3 mi (2 km) from central Kinsale. Why not take a stroll along the port and watch the sunset while you're here?

Learn more about Kinsale

Colorful buildings hug the harbor in this historic port town, where fishing boats bob alongside sleek yachts. Charles Fort, a massive star-shaped fortress, offers panoramic views of the strategically vital bay. Narrow streets reveal artisan shops and galleries between award-winning restaurants that have earned this small town its culinary reputation. Desmond Castle stands as a reminder of medieval power before becoming the 'French Prison.' James Fort provides the perfect sunset perch across the harbor. The Old Head Golf Links stretches dramatically along nearby clifftops. Duck into a pub where live music and fresh seafood chowder await after exploring the Ringfinnan Garden. Summer brings sailing regattas that transform the harbor into a canvas of billowing sails.

"Spacious, comfortable room, great powerful shower. Nice velux windows to let the breeze in. Room 5 is top floor so a few flights of stairs to climb."
