With routes running April to October, it is a wonderful way to explore West Cork’s maritime landscape.
Charles Fort is a striking 17th‑century star‑shaped fortress that has protected Kinsale Harbour for more than 300 years. Built between 1677 and 1682 during the reign of Charles II, it is one of Ireland’s largest military forts and played key roles in major historical events, including the Williamite War of 1690 and the Irish Civil War of 1922–23. Visitors can explore the vast ramparts, enjoy spectacular harbour views and learn about the fort’s strategic importance. Language guides are available, and due to uneven terrain, suitable footwear is recommended. It’s a family‑friendly, atmospheric landmark rich in Irish history.
At the Clonakilty Blackpudding Visitor Centre, guests explore the story behind one of Ireland’s most iconic foods, made using a secret recipe dating back to the late 1800s.

The purpose‑built centre includes engaging displays, a viewing gallery to see production in action, and a café where visitors can sample Clonakilty products. This family‑friendly experience welcomes all ages and is bookable online.
