Kilkenny Travel Blogs

After a long flight and a lot of jet lag, being stuck in a car was not an ideal way to begin Ireland, but we were on limited time and had to push ourselves like the traveling Olympians we were.  We were attempting to see a lot in only a few days so we planned to go from Dublin to Cork the firs…

On our final day in Ireland we decided to go to Kilkenny. Home of the famous Kilkenny ale.The weather was still bad, but now and then the sun came through to shine upon this old city. Kilkenny is really old, you know. There is a majestic castle, and there are some crumblingly old churches, and down…

3.27.09 Kilkenny   We bid Trevor farewell at Camac Valley campground this morning (very nice manager and campground) and tootled down the road.  We passed Orla and Kieran’s exit and waved their direction as we headed south for Kilkenny.  The ride was very nice with easy motorways…

The original plan was…

Here are some of the photos from my first trip to Ireland. Slowly I am getting them all added.

After a night sleep, I came up with a little rain that last for some minutes, and then to see the city

After that we were on our way to Killkenny.  Kilkenny's rich medieval heritage is evident in the city's treasure trove of historical buildings and landmarks.  This is exemplified by the magnificent Kilkenny Castle. Kilkenny is arguably the pre-eminent medieval city in Ireland, with the cu…
