点评:Kinsale, means 'head of the brine' in Irish, is a historic port and is a small town which is known as the foodie capital of Ireland. The centre of the town this bright, seaside village set in County Cork is most known for its kaleidoscope of colours that adorn the small houses along the narrow streets. Kinsale sits at the mouth of riven Bandon making ingredients from the land, such as fresh produce and dairy products, and fresh sea readily available. There’s not much to see in town which can be to explored within 15 minutes, but if explored in detail there is much to learn.
Forthill promontory sits at the mouth of the Kinsale harbour with Fort Charles, which was built between 1677 and 1682 as it was expected Kinsale would be attacked from sea.
Further afield there is a part of the Wild Atlantic Way; Kinsale is the starting point for this iconic drive. The Wild Atlantic Way is a scenic coastal route stretching over 1,500 miles along Ireland’s rugged western coast. From sheer cliffs, expansive beaches, and rolling hills dotted with charming towns, the Wild Atlantic Way is one of the best road trips in Ireland any time of the year, similar to the North Coast Road in Scotland but it is 3 times longer.
翻译:金塞尔(Kinsale)在爱尔兰语中意为“盐水之源”,是一座历史悠久的港口小镇,被誉为爱尔兰的美食之都。这座位于科克郡的明亮海滨小镇,以其沿街小巷五彩缤纷的房屋而闻名。金塞尔坐落在班顿河(Bandon)入海口,得天独厚的土地资源,包括新鲜的农产品、乳制品和新鲜的海产品,使其食材丰富多样。镇上景点不多,15分钟即可游览完毕;但如果细细探索,则会发现许多值得了解的地方。
福斯希尔岬角(Forthill promontory)位于金塞尔港的入口处,查尔斯堡(Fort Charles)就坐落于此。查尔斯堡建于1677年至1682年间,当时人们预料金塞尔会遭受海上攻击。
更远一些的地方是“野性大西洋之路”(Wild Atlantic Way)的一部分;金塞尔是这条标志性自驾路线的起点。野性大西洋之路是一条风景优美的沿海公路,沿着爱尔兰崎岖的西海岸绵延超过1500英里。从陡峭的悬崖、广阔的海滩到点缀着迷人小镇的连绵起伏的丘陵,野性大西洋之路是爱尔兰一年四季最佳的自驾游路线之一,类似于苏格兰的北海岸公路,但长度是其三倍。
