Why Walk Kilkenny

Kilkenny's medieval core runs along a limestone ridge between the 13th-century castle and St. Canice's Cathedral, connected by narrow lanes and alleyways known as 'slips.' The city has one of the best-preserved medieval streetscapes in Ireland, with the Tholsel (town hall), Rothe House, and numerous medieval churches surviving. Kilkenny has cultivated a reputation as Ireland's craft and design capital.
