Old Head of Kinsale

A local suggested we drive out to this area. Not heavily touristed, limited parking, no facilities, just an incredible view!

Beautiful spot for walk. Incredible views. But it’s so windy there

Beautiful , maybe some bench will be great to sit a bit and watch the landscape around

Wonderful experience. We went during open day in April 25 . There was a bus ferrying passnager to old head light house. Must visit place for a remarkable experience.

Lovely spot for a stroll. Went to the lighthouse on the allocated open day (which happens rarely!) Note that you cannot access the lighthouse or the golf estate as a public visitor.

This is were the Wild Atlantic Way starts or ends. Another spectacular place on the road, cliffs are amazing, make you feel you want to come back to see more and more.

A public day when we could visit the old head. But in my opinion a slight weakness in the organization of the shuttles and our own time management. At the end we had to give up the idea to visit the lighthouse as we were dependent on the last bus to Kinsale. Besides, there’s still something to watch :) and a café :D

Fantastic area to chill and appreciate the awe- inspiring sea cliffs. Unfortunately most is now privately owned and the public are denied access....unless you're loaded and can join the golf club.

Beautiful course and an even better view. We stopped by for lunch and to admire the course. One of our group had played before and had to tell us the stories. We ate lunch in the clubhouse and had a fine selection of food. Service was great and the menu was well thought out. I would give them 5 stars but I got food poisoning from the oysters I ate there. After a long night I made it on my flight to Scotland with cold sweats and a green face. I was surprised somewhere this nice had bad shellfish. I'll go back again...but will mind the shellfish.

If you are in Cork and have access to a car, you might as well head to Kinsale. The small port and fishing town has many pubs, craft and photography shops and is popular with tourists. After driving about 15 kilometers you will see a long hill and on the very top, a ruined castle. If you go up walking through the grass heading to the right side, you will be amazed by the view of the cliffs, the noise of the waves smashing the rocks and the smell of fresh air. And this view is completely free! The only problem is a big closed gate, which belongs to a golf course built some years ago that still raises protests as a big part of the land was made private.
