Cork is Ireland's largest county
and Kinsale is the Gourmet Capital of Ireland. Narrow streets wind through this historic town which dates back many centuries. Kinsale is most famous for the Battle of Kinsale in 1601 when the Irish fought the Spanish Armada. Battle sites are well signposted around the town for military buffs Nearby to Kinsale is the famous Charles Fort, Ireland's best preserved star fort. While this was a military garrison, it was also a home. Local legend surrounds the White Lady, who was a young woman made widow on her wedding day. In her grief she threw herself into the sea below the fort while still in her wedding dress! |
