Why book Kilkenny


Kilkenny is a popular tourist destination in the South East of Ireland and is the county town of County Kilkenny. Dating back to the early sixth century, when a church was built in honour of St Canice, the town was a major monastic centre from the eighth century and there are manuscripts from the 13th century onward describing the history and development of the town. The long history of the town is also apparent with the historic buildings that draw large numbers of visitors every year, a great example being St Canice`s Cathedral which was built on the site of the original church. Visitors can explore the history of the town at Kilkenny Castle which has been completely refurbished and now hosts part of the National Art Gallery collection. Parts of the original city wall survive and there is a conservation plan in place to ensure the long term survival of these impressive structures. Kilkenny has a strong tradition for its cultural activities and hosts a number of arts and music festivals throughout the year, with an emphasis on traditional Irish music, which can be experienced nightly in many of its fine pubs and bars. Kilkenny has a number of shopping centres offering a wide range of shops as well a number of independent boutiques selling locally crafted items, ranging from jewellery and paintings to pottery and ceramics.
