 The Gallery
is an award
winning funky guesthouse offering Kinsale bed and breakfast accommodation located in the heart of Kinsale
town centre, County Cork, the Gourmet Capital of Ireland. It is
noted for its charming decor and delightful atmosphere.
The
Gallery Bed & Breakfast Kinsale is a popular B&B accommodation in Kinsale
just a short walk to he Tourist Office where you can get
a Visitors Guide on activities in the town.
A visit to the 17th Century Charles
Fort is a priority. Take the wonderfully Scenic "Scilly Walk" which
passes through the little village of Summercove & leads you straight
to the Fort .
Both the 15th Century Desmond
Castle & the International Wine Museum are located just 200 metres
from the Gallery bed & breakfast & are an essential visit to
understand Kinsale`s development as a successful trading town.
Kinsale Museum which is 100 metres from the Gallery dates back to
1600 & houses an array of interesting artifacts including being the
venue for the subsequent enquiry into the sinking of the Lusitania.
 The 17th Century
James Fort which is outside Kinsale is well worth
visiting & is a particularly attractive walking area & has
spectacular views of both the inner & outer harbour.
The magnificently preserved 12th Century St. Multose Church dates
back to Norman times & houses an interesting array of historical
relics.
The Kinsale Historical Guided Walking Tour is very informative &
highly recommended .Tour starts at 11.15 outside Kinsale Tourist
office.
There is also a wonderful Scenic Harbour Cruise which leaves from
the pier & explores the inner harbour with a documentary on Kinsale`s Maritime History.
Because the Gallery Bed & Breakfast is so centrally located with
free parking nearby ,you can easily explore the vast array of Craft
Shops & Art Galleries on foot
There is also a great selection of characterful Pubs & Bed &
Breakfast Accommodation in the centre of town.
