City of Kilkenny

The beautiful medieval city of Kilkenny lies an hour's north of Dungarvan.

Kilkenny Design Centre, home to exceptional craftsmen and women, is located across from Kilkenny Castle, which itself offers guided tours of the historic building and its grounds are a perfect spot to enjoy a Summer picnic.

Kilkenny boasts many fine restaurants and charming, traditional pubs and has a wealth of shopping boutiques and craft shops.

The progressive Kilkenny Arts Festival with visual art exhibitions, drama and music performances, takes place each August, but for a belly-full of laughs, visit the city during the Cats Laugh Festival in June.
