Volunteer workers bid to have their say on future of harbour fort

Volunteers who have been at the forefront in promoting a famed harbour fort as a major tourist attraction are seeking to have a say in its future.

Cork Harbour’s Camden Fort Meagher played a significant role in Irish history, during the Siege of Kinsale in 1601 and in the conflict in 1690 between the Catholic King James II and Protestant William of Orange.

Built close to Crosshaven, Camden was one of several magnificent forts constructed to defend the mouth of Cork Harbour.
