The Municipal District of Bandon-Kinsale

Among the places of Munster, the Municipal District of Bandon – Kinsale stands out for its south County Cork setting between the Bandon River valley and the Atlantic-facing coast. It connects inland market-town country with the estuary at Kinsale, where the Bandon reaches the sea. Kinsale was the site of the Battle of Kinsale in 1601, a decisive episode in the Nine Years’ War, while Bandon developed as an English plantation town in the early 17th century. Roads across the district run through farmland and small settlements towards the harbour coast.
