Castlepark close to beach near Kinsale
Designed by UK architect Denis Anderson and built in 1972, the scheme had a second phase added on about a quarter of a century later, bringing the tally of homes here to over two dozen.
It is a mile or so around the harbour, and over the bridge from Kinsale town, and Castlepark itself now has the Dock pub and restaurant, guest accommodation and a yacht marina. Ancient James Fort is to its back, and the views from some of Castlepark’s houses take in Charles Fort over by Summercove. And the beach is close enough to run to before breakfast.
