Mostly you’ll find that it’s the perfect small town to walk around in. Did we mention pubs yet? Oh yes, you’ll find lots of Irish music in the pubs of Kinsale. It is a small town with a friendly atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you just want to hang out and relax.
Kinsale has become one of Ireland's most popular visitor destinations, and yet it is somewhat remote.
It's not very crowded except for a couple of months in the summertime when it does get rather busy.
The rest of the year it's a little bit more quiet and peaceful than the other major Irish destinations, because it's on the far southern shore away from the main intercity highways. Coming in through the little downtown, we’re soon driving along the marina as we get to our hotel, the Actons, nicely located just a short walk from the town center.
One of the defining characteristics and most pleasant aaspects of the city is that it's right on the water. There's a big natural harbor that played a large role in its history and economy, which has involved fishing and trading with Europe, and some important military battles because of its strategic location. More on that later.
The town consists of well-preserved historic buildings because during the twentieth century this area was in economic decline. Nothing much happened here, there was very little development. And so the old buildings from centuries ago are still standing. It's one of those delightful historical sequences where a town was booming in the 1600s and 1700, 1800s with many attractive shops and homes built in a nicely organized village center, then went into decline, left alone for a hundred years, and now it's been rediscovered. The buildings are all renovated and painted in a lively variety of colors.
In the last forty years, Kinsale has really blossomed and has bounced back today as a very attractive destination, with sThe largest public gathering place is Market Square, which has the only pedestrian streets in town.
This is were I met my husband, 10.13 Charles Fort, celebrated our wedding in 94 in the Trident Hotel
I visited Kinsale last Sunday. It's really worth visiting. Greetings from Limerick, Ireland. =)
It's been 20 years since I lived in Kinsale ( 2001-04 ) and worked as the bartender at An Seanachai ( traditional Irish bar, unfortunatelly for years for sale ). This was the best time of my life. The people, friends, sounds, stories and love that never happens again. Since than I dream of coming back again. At least for one day. To see old places where we spent our evenings, kissed girls, listened to An Seanachai, played football, saved the boat from sinking, saved the bar from the flood, experienced 9/11 while washing dishes at Jim Edwards, saw the sacrifice Kinsale has made to 9/11 at the White house, helped the divers at the Lusitania wreck, sang songs at Tap Tavern, saved ourselves from the world that keeps on running. It's beeen good old times. These days will never be forgotten and I hope that some day I'll have a chance to return.
Wow, thanks for that reminiscing, you had a wonderful time in a beautiful place, lucky you, getting paid to spend all that time in happy pubs!
Greetings! I would like to commend your work. It's very informative and formal, unlike from other videos i've seen that features Ireland. You made it brief yet more detailed description of the different places in Ireland. Thank you for that.
One issue: The Rock of Cashel is not in the Vale of Tralee. There is no Vale of Tralee. It is in the Golden Vale.
He estado hace 4 años en Irlanda, recorriendo la isla con un rental car, casi siempre las indicaciones de la carretera nos dirigían a toll roads, y no a free national roads. Hay que estar muy atento...!!!
La isla.. Fantástica!!!
Stopped in kinsale in 2003 at jim edwards for 7 nights guinness every night maybe 18 pubs back then yea great place
i had to go past desmond castle (always thought it was a church, so thanks for clearing that up!) and down those steps shown at night... to get some alcohol for my aunty once, when i was visiting my gran, i was so scared, it was all misty and dark.. jack the ripper came to mind in my furtile imagination!!
Jack the Ripper is from London, not Kinsale. Idiot.
excellent video. i visited and stayed in kinsale about 25 years ago . i enjoyed this video. thank you for posting.
Your videos are awesome. So honest. I like that you don't only show the photogenic parts.
Nice and thorough. Waiting for more
Lovely Kinsale 😍
I hate to be narky,but shore is not the correct word to describe the area of land thats meets the sea of a large landmass like ireland .Coast is the correct word shore is what you would call a small area of coast or a lakeshore.
Please relax and just enjoy the videos instead of trying to show off. Your comment is pointless as well as wrong. According to dictionary.com, shore is "the land along the edge of a sea..." and Listowel did not get "glossed over" but just was not the focus of that vid...can't cover everything.
clay fada yea enjoy it
clay fada xx Who in hell cares
WTF?
Ever hear of the sea shore
Well explained. I visited Ireland a week ago and learning more watching your video. Thank you. Greats from Canada.

His pronunciation of Kinsale is harsh on the ears.
SUPER
Slight correction! Kinsale is a town not a village as it was said at the beginning
