Departing from Cobh, take a motorcoach tour through Cork's charming countryside and travel via the Lee Tunnel to beautiful Kinsale. Founded by the Anglo-Normans in 1177, Kinsale has won the European Prize for Tourism & the Environment, the Entente Florale, and the National Tidy Town and Gourmet Capital awards. It lies snugly between hills and valleys, safely sheltered by the rounded contours of its beautiful harbor. Kinsale owes its character to the fact that it was a port of consequence for more than 300 years — hence the magnificent Georgian homes and the Dutch influence in its architecture.
Take photos at Charles Fort overlooking the wide expanse of Kinsale Harbour and the town itself.
Stroll on your own in the city center, browse in the shops and soak up the local atmosphere.
From Kinsale, you'll drive along the coast before turning inland via Inishannon for a photo stop overlooking the Bandon River; then, your motorcoach will return you to Cobh and the ship.
Notes:
Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring local currency or credit cards, as most vendors do not accept US dollars.
