Day 4 Colourful Kinsale & Clonakilty - Today we head to colourful Kinsale, one of the most fashionable resorts of the west coast of Ireland and know as the "Gourmet Capital". Having retained much of the flavour of its maritime history it's a delightful place to explore. After time at leisure we go on to the bustling coastal villabe of Clonakilty for free time before returning to Cork.
