A shoreline hamlet named on maps since at least 1714, the gentle harbourside footpath that still carries walkers out from the town, the small village of Summercove beneath Charles Fort, its well-known waterside pub the Bulman, and the panoramic hilltop viewpoint at Compass Hill — 5 stops along Kinsale Harbour's own quiet approach to the fort, distinct from the town centre and its monuments.
