Kilkenny Castle
An impressive Norman fortress that has presided over the River Nore for 750 years.
Overview
Set along the River Nore above its namesake city, Kilkenny Castle has stood for over 750 years. Today, much of the interior has undergone a Victorian makeover while the extensive grounds bustle with local wildlife.
Wander through the terraced rose garden or delve deep into the woodlands, then find the teahouse for a slice of cake and a hot drink.
