"Charles Fort – Situated on the edge of the water in the scenic village of Summer Cove in the Kinsale harbour of County Cork, lies the impressive and historic Charles Fort. The castle was originally constructed in the year 1682, and it was built as the ‘new fort’, in contrast to the ‘old fort’, or James Fort, which was built in the early 17th century on the other side of the same harbour. The fort played a critical military role throughout the centuries that it was active, until the year 1921, following the Anglo-Irish Treaty."

"One of Europe's best-preserved star-shaped artillery forts, this vast 17th-century fortification would be worth a visit for its spectacular views alone. But there's much more here: the 18th- and 19th-century ruins inside the walls make for some fascinating wandering. It's 3km southeast of Kinsale along the minor road through Scilly; if you have time, hike there along the lovely coastal Scilly Walk."

"Not far from the previous location, Cronin’s Bar is an integral part of the town of Crosshaven. The bar itself is a throwback to previous generations as the walls are adorned with photos of boats from the nearby harbour, and the many trinkets that decorate the inside really add to the character of the place. The Mad Fish Restaurant is the food offering inside, and its selection of seafood is exquisite and has won numerous Irish food awards, so it is very much worth a try."
