Worth visiting!
Quite Lovely
Just got back from a visit to Ireland. My sister and I stayed at the Gallery B&B in Kinsale (two thumbs up) and one night dined at Max’s restaurant (two thumbs way up) where the food is amazing and the service is superb. Avoid the Whitehouse! There are lots of pubs with live music nightly, and amazing art galleries with pieces for sale. The main “town” is small and easy to meander thru despite the throngs of tourists, and a sunset walk along the harbour is just lovely.

Introduction to Kinsale
November 20, 2006
Only 29km (18 miles) south of Cork City, Kinsale is a charming fishing village sitting on an endlessly photographable harbor, surrounded by green hills. Considered the gateway to the western Cork seacoast, this town of 3,000 residents has also made a name for itself as the "gourmet capital of Ireland." Home to more than a dozen award-winning restaurants and pubs, Kinsale draws food lovers year-round, particularly in October during the 4-day Gourmet Festival. With its narrow, winding streets; well-kept 18th-century houses; imaginatively painted shop fronts; window boxes overflowing with colorful flowers; and a harbor full of sailboats, Kinsale is enchanting. The downside of all this is that the secret is out: This is a tourist town, so add parking problems and tour buses to the list of the city's sights.
