   Roads converge on Asna Sq, dominated by a monument commemorating the 1798 Rising. Also in the square is the Kilty Stone, a piece of the original castle that gave Clonakilty (Clogh na Kylte, meaning 'castle of the woods') its name.

3. Inchydoney Island

   • Clonakilty, Ireland

   The sandy Blue Flag beach at Inchydoney Island, 4km from town, is good for swimming, but watch out for the dangerous riptide; when lifeguards are on duty a red flag indicates danger.

4. Lisnagun

   • Clonakilty, Ireland
   • Sights › Other

   Of the more than 30,000 ring forts scattered across Ireland, Lisnagun is the only one that’s been reconstructed on its original site. Complete with souterrain and central thatched hut, it gives a vivid impression of life in a 10th-century farmstead. To get there, take the turn signposted to Bay View House B&B at the roundabout at the end of Strand Rd. Follow the road uphill to the T-junction, turn right, then continue for about 800m before turning right again (signposted).
