Cork - Event Notice Thursday January 01 1970 People's Picnic at Old Head of Kinsale![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Protest denial of public access this Sunday The Free the Old Head of Kinsale Campaign will be running a bus to the Old Head of Kinsale this Sunday, 10th August where the campaign will hold another of it's People's Picnics against the blocking off of public access from this beautiful West Cork headland. Most of you are familiar with the story of the Old Head of Kinsale by now. The Old Head is one of Ireland's most beautiful scenic locations, a headland jutting out 1.5km into the Atlantic Ocean with breathtaking views along the coast in either directions. It is also a bird sanctuary, has Iron Age ruins, the ruins of an ancient castle and battlements and it is one of the best locations in Ireland for whale and dolphin watching. Rare flora and fauna are in abundance including Ireland's only native reptile, the vivaporous lizard. There is a famous lighthouse at the tip of the promontory and it is close to the site where the Lusitania was sunk by a German torpedo in 1915. |
