Welcome to Kinsale School of English in beautiful County Cork, southwest Ireland. Classes and accommodation are in the attractive, cosmopolitan town of Kinsale.

Kinsale is one of Ireland's oldest towns and is known as the 'gourmet capital of Ireland'. There are more pleasant cafes and restaurants in its pretty and colourful streets than you will be able to visit. Evenings are lively, often with music in several bars where the welcome is always warm. You can enjoy visiting our craft shops, art galleries, historic castles and museums.

The town is in a beautiful harbour setting with many possibilities to fill your spare time: sailing, angling, whale-watching, kayaking, surfing – or relax and watch the fishing boats return with their catch. Kinsale also has three golf courses.

You can learn English while you learn to sail, surf or ride. Water sports and creative activities are experienced through English and shared with native speakers. Our teachers will also take you on historical walks and to the farmers' market.
