Kinsale, Cork: A Destination Like No Other

Kinsale sits at the start of the Wild Atlantic Way, just 30 minutes south of Cork city and 2.5 hours from Dublin. It’s one of Ireland’s most celebrated towns; a UNESCO-listed harbour, a reputation as Ireland’s gourmet capital, world-class golf at Kinsale Golf Club and the legendary Old Head of Kinsale, and a warm, unhurried atmosphere that draws guests back year after year.

For a group holiday, it offers the perfect balance: enough to fill a week if you want to explore, and peaceful enough to do absolutely nothing if that’s what you need.
