THE TOWN OF KINSALE Kinsale sits at the mouth of the Bandon River and is just 12 miles from Bandon. Kinsale is a popular holiday resort for Irish and foreign tourists and the population of the town increases substantially in the peak tourist season. It has become well known internationally for its gourmet restaurants and leisure activities including yachting, sea angling and golf. There is a large yachting marina close to the town centre which attracts sailing enthusiasts. Kinsale has an array of boutiques, book shops and cafes and thrives 7 days a week. St Multose Church in Kinsale was built in 1190 and is one of the very few churches of that period still in use. Desmond Castle was built in about 1500 and has been opened as a museum of wine. The best known attraction, Charles Fort, can be found on the road out beyond Summercove. It is open all year and regular guided tours are available. It is one of the finest surviving examples of a 17th century star shaped fort and much of the construction begun in 1678 still remains today. The fort has two huge bastions overlooking the estuary and three looking inland. The barracks were housed inside the fort which was used until 1922.
