Charles Fort, Kinsale

A great day out for the family. What you get for the entrance fee is completely worth it. There are exhibitions with information about the history of the site and short video clips to keep all entertained. Walking through the Fort can feel like a maze as there are so many buildings and ruins that it can be difficult to keep track of where you are. You can walk along the edges of the Fort and enjoy the spectacular views of Kinsale. The staff are very friendly and there to answer any questions one might have. There is a cafe on site to indulge in a cup of coffee or treat yourself to lunch. Would highly recommend.

We were lucky enough to arrive just before the tour started which was very interesting. Would recommend it. Loved it all. Thank you to our tour guide also :)

Definitely worth the 5€ entrance fee. Really nice place to visit, lots of history. It's a 40 minute walk from Kinsale but it's a nice walk. I would highly recommend it and would go again.

This was fantastic. So much to walk around, so many incredible ruins to see and walk THROUGH. We were warned it might be closed and we'd just see it from the outside, that alone would have been cool, but it was open and walking through each portion of it was AMAZING. And all of it is right alongside the water, making it an absolutely beautiful setting. There is one and only one thing I point out as a flaw. There is so much history there and so many things and stories to tell, that it was really frustrating that there was no tour offered. We asked and they apparently do it at busier times of year. Okay, I get that, but then create an AUDIO guide at least. Add signs on each part that show what room it is, there was so little information while walking around it was really limiting. Yes there was information before you started but this could be one of my favorite tours of all time if it was explained to me along the way, I really hope they do something about it, I could see this becoming like the Tower of London tour where people in costume take you around and tell you stories at each part, it would draw loads of crowds. Just a really missed opportunity, because it's an awesome site.

Our guide was very knowledgeable about Irish🍀 history. Very interesting place!
