Someday we will visit Kilkenny or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Kilkenny is a city in the 'Sunny South East' of Ireland, 50 km north of Waterford and 120 km southwest of Dublin. Ireland's mediaeval capital, it offers the traveller the mixture of a rich cultural heritage, beautiful streetscapes, an exciting vibrant nightlife and great shopping opportunities. The River Nore flows through the city, splitting it in two, with most sights of interest on the western side of the river. Kilkenny is the county town or main centre of County Kilkenny. With a population of 26,000, it's the size of a large town, but retains the official status of a city, a status granted it by King James I of England in 1609.

Kilkenny is a popular tourist destination in Ireland. Its art galleries, historic buildings, craft and design workshops, theatre, comedy, public gardens and museums are some of main reasons Kilkenny has become one of Ireland's most visited towns and a base from which to explore the surrounding countryside.

The Landmarks of Kilkenny show Kilkenny's heritage through the historical buildings. Kilkenny is a well-preserved medieval town and is dominated by both Kilkenny Castle and St. Canice's Cathedral and round tower.
