The South West corner of Ireland is known for it's beauty and dramatic coastline. There are many places of interest to visit and only a few are mentioned here.

Cork City is within 30 minutes drive of Kinsale and is a thriving, vibrant place. Standing on the banks of the River Lee it is the second largest City in Southern Ireland and owes it's origins to St. Finbarr who founded a monastry there in the 6th Century.

Clonakilty (home of the famous black and white pudding), Skibbereen, Glengarriff, Killarney, Bantry and Blarney are all within sightseeing distance of Kinsale. As is the Ring of Kerry, including the beautiful lakes, Gap of Dunloe etc.

Cobh, the last port of call of the Titanic, is well worth a visit. The Heritage Centre tells the story of emigration from Cobh in the period of the famine in 1845 up to the era of the great Liners in the 1950s. The historical role which Cobh harbour has played as a port is also illustrated.
