This is certainly a worthwhile trip. Quite inexpensive (EUR 2) and highly informative, it's a 45 minute walk from Kinsale. The views from the fort walls are excellent. Open Saturday-Monday 9AM-5PM off-season, Daily 9AM-6PM in Summer.

Hungry or thirsty? There's a pub a few hundred meters down the hill (The Bullman Bar -- we didn't try it, but it looked good).

Address: Summercove, outside Kinsale
Directions: Walk to Summercove via either the High Road or the Low Road on the Scilly Peninsula. Walk past the Bullman Bar and on to the fort. It also has a parking lot for those who'd like to drive.
