Blue Skies and Beaches in Kinsale







After a full morning of English classes, we journeyed to the picturesque seaport of Kinsale. We spent the afternoon in the beautiful sunshine at the 17th century fort of Charles Fort, named after King Charles II.  Here we learned what brought about the end of Gaelic Ireland in 1601. Students had the time to explore the incredible grounds and architecture. 


After the tour, we took advantage of the incredibly sunny weather and went to the beach! It didn't take the students long before they were running onto the beach and into the Atlantic Ocean. We had an amazing afternoon enjoying the sunshine and beautiful weather. To finish of the day, we strolled into  Kinsale and enjoyed the most incredible Fish and Chips at the famous Dino's on the pier.
