Of all the elegant promontories that penetrate the periphery of the Atlantic Ocean on our southwest coast, perhaps the most iconic is the Old Head of Kinsale. Long before walking for leisure became a popular activity, the bracing walk out to the Lighthouse was beloved of Corkonians. This circumstance has led to “The Old Head” falling off the radar as a walking destination. Start your walk along the clifftop path that runs east from the corner of Garrettstown beach.
