James Fort Kinsale

Families can explore the ruins of James Fort, a 17th-century military site, and enjoy views of Kinsale town, the river, harbour, and Charles Fort.
Located opposite Charles Fort, it has a commanding position guarding the small harbour of Kinsale. This fort was built in 1607 and was captured in 1690 by Williamite forces. The fort remains a most interesting example of 17th century military architecture and offers wonderful views of the town, river, harbour and Charles Fort.
