The picturesque harbour of Kinsale used to be an important naval port for over 500 years. It served to import wine and other products from mainland Europe, as they would arrive into Ireland through Kinsale
 

Two 17th-century fortresses overlook the River Bandon: the vast, star-shaped Charles Fort to the southeast, and the smaller James Fort on the river's opposite bank.
