About
The signature Kinsale walk, a water's-edge path that leaves the town and threads along the harbour through Scilly and on to the village of Summercove and Charles Fort beyond. It hugs the shoreline the whole way, low and level for the most part, and gives you the best harbour viewpoint in the town: the yachts on their moorings, James Fort across the water, and the marina below. There is a wooded stretch through Scilly and the Bulman pub at Summercove for a stop. It runs about 4 km there and back.
