Scilly Walk

Highlight • Trail

Along the water's edge and closed to cars is Scilly Walk. It takes in beautiful views across the harbour and to Charles Fort. Keep your eyes peeled as there are often seals and occasionally even dolphins to be seen from this waterfront path. Scilly Walk is also the name of a hike from Lower Road to Charles Fort.

Kinsale

Highlight • Settlement

Kinsale is a historic harbour town at the mouth of the River Bandon, known for its colourful streets, maritime heritage, and exceptional culinary reputation. It lies about 25 km south of Cork and forms the official starting point of the Wild Atlantic Way. The town combines a compact medieval street plan with an open, wide harbour basin that has been strategically important for centuries. Call it the little Honfleur of Southern Ireland.

Good parking and a pub right next door

Highlight • Parking

The free parking is great for walking in one direction to Charles Fort and in the other direction via the Scilly Walk (car-free) to Kinsale.
The pub (Bulmans Bar) serves the usual drinks and from 6pm also food. A few tables outside are particularly nice and sunny
