8 days in Kinsale Itinerary

Located at the estuary of the Brandon River, the historical fishing town of Kinsale nestles against hills that act as a natural shield against the open sea.

Change things up with these side-trips from Kinsale: Cobh (Cobh Cathedral, St Colman’s Cathedral, &more), Clonakilty (Michael Collins Centre & Inchydoney Beach) and Fota Wildlife Park (in Carrigtwohill).
