If you like cliffs, and want to get away from the traditional Cliffs of Moher outing, be sure to check out Old Head, near Kinsale (Co. Cork) in Ireland. This pretty Irish peninsula is lush and green, and home to a fantastic golf course. The site is exceptional, with breathtaking sea views.
Kinsale’s Old Head is an Irish peninsula that’s popular with locals, golfers and tourists alike. The site boasts an ultra-cut coastline, offering superb views of the sea. Not to be missed is the 17th-century Old Head Lighthouse. Splendidly situated, it faces a panorama that is sometimes tormented by the ocean: the perfect setting for postcard-perfect scenery!
If you’re a golfer, you can also enjoy a splendid golf course set up on the peninsula in 1977: the Old Head Golf Links! Top sportsmen and women come here to perfect their skills, while enjoying the seascape. The coastline is sculpted by the wind and the ocean, and the light changes the landscape as the day progresses.
Surely one of the finest golf courses in Ireland! The course is suitable for beginners and experienced players alike. The club offers a wide range of services to ensure you have the best possible experience.
And don’t miss the stunning cliffs of Old Head! These are the result of natural erosion. They are mainly composed of shale and hard sandstone. Their outcrops seem to plunge straight into the ocean, offering a spectacular view of the Atlantic! Don’t hesitate to stop and contemplate the view… and take a few photos!
Last but not least, wrap up warm. The peninsula’s geographical location means it is particularly exposed to the winds. Bring a thick sweater and a windbreaker.
