    Train ride around

    Loved this little touring "train" and it certainly showed us, in a short space of time, the points of interest in Kilkenny. Our driver was very friendly and most informative too. Worth doing.

    Kilkenny isn’t a terribly large town. But if you are on a tour (as I was recently), time can be quite short. If you want to see the main part of town and hear the history and only have a limited time to do it,...More
