YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in County Kilkenny
Kilkenny’s historic centre
The castle setting and medieval streets provide a clear focus for a full day. Choose the buildings or museums you want to enter and leave time for the surrounding shops and riverside.
River Nore outings
The Nore gives a different way to organise a countryside day. Select an established route with suitable distance and surfaces rather than assuming unrestricted access along every stretch of the river.
Craft and village visits
The county’s craft businesses and villages can add a slower day to an itinerary. Check studio or visitor opening hours and choose a small local cluster rather than an extensive driving circuit.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Kilkenny city offers independent shops, food businesses and craft-related retail. Smaller towns such as Thomastown provide local stops, with the city useful for a fuller provisions shop.
Planning your holiday in County Kilkenny
Heritage sites and workshops have individual visitor arrangements. Check the actual park address and plan rural routes realistically, especially if an evening in the city is part of your holiday.
Choosing where to stay
A city-access park and a quieter Nore Valley base offer different day-to-day routines; choose the balance you prefer.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
