Things To Do

The Flying Poet Aviation Café and Book Exchange

The Black Pig

This place sounds so good, I had to copy-paste their description: "This candlelit hideaway is set in an 18th-century coach house with a charming cobbled courtyard out the back, and offers a mouth-watering menu of gourmet nibbles, charcuterie platters and cheese boards sourced from artisan local suppliers. The award-winning wine list offers no fewer than 200 wines by the bottle and 100 by the glass, including many organic varieties. Reservations recommended."

This place is absolutely stunning- there are gardens, a fairy glade, and the famous Blarney Stone!

River Mahon

Mahon Falls is a beautiful waterfall an hour and a half from Kinsale. If you are planning to travel around Ireland or are looking for a day trip, this is an amazing place to check out. There's a bit of a hike to the waterfalls but it is not so difficult and is worth it. Nearby to Mahon Falls is the Magical Road, said to be a place where fairies' magic overcomes gravity, where you can put your car in neutral and your car will start to go uphill.
