Historic Stroll
Historic Stroll
Historical landmark
Originally a medieval fishing port, historic Kinsale (from the Irish, Ceann tSaile – ‘Head of the Sea’) is one of the most picturesque, popular and historic towns on the south west coast of Ireland. Visitors to Kinsale are captivated by its beautiful setting; its long waterfront, yacht-filled harbour, narrow winding streets and brightly painted galleries, shops and houses. The impressive fortifications of Charles Fort and James Fort guard the narrow entrance from the sea – giving clues to its rich history. There are several guided walking tours available and plenty of information at the Kinsale Tourist Office in the centre of the town.

Old Head Signal Tower
Historical landmark
15 mins
The Tower was built in 1805 as a response to the threat of invasion from Napoleonic France. While it was described as a ‘fencible guardhouse’ giving the impression of a military fortification of some kind, its function was primarily as a station for passing urgent messages from its neighbouring stations west and east or from ships at sea by line of sight readings to Dublin Castle. While it was lightly guarded it could not long withstand, unlike the much stronger Martello Towers built around the same time, any pounding from cannon fire. Luckily, it never came to that as the Napoleonic threat faded rapidly within a few years. The Signal Tower has spectacular views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Charlesfort Fort
Charlesfort Fort
Historical landmark
10 mins
Perhaps the best-known historical attraction in Kinsale, Charles Fort, is a classic example of a late 17th century star-shaped fort. It is open all year, and regular guided tours are available. Charles Fort is one of the finest surviving examples of a 17th Century star-shaped fort, and much of the construction begun in 1678 remains. The fort has two enormous bastions overlooking the estuary, and three facing inland. Within its walls were all the barracks and ancillary facilities to support the fort’s garrison. The fort continued in military use until 1922. You will witness some of the most breath-taking views from Charlesfort. Charlesfort is open all year round with guided tours available.
