Driving from Dublin to Kilkenny

There are so many great stops on the drive from Dublin to Kilkenny.  If you have more than one day to spend in Kilkenny I would recommend stopping at a few of these places on your drive to Kilkenny.

  • Powerscourt Estate Gardens (spend about 2 hours here)
  • Glendalough and the Wicklow Mountains, stop and eat at The Wicklow Heather (spend about 2 hours here)
  • Kilfane Glen and waterfall

Day 1 - Arrive in Kilkenny.  Walk the streets to Kilkenny Castle.  Enjoy the walk through the Castle and the grounds.  After you have toured the castle, there is a little trolley train right outside of the castle that gives you little tours of the town.  We all loved this!  The best part of visiting the towns in Ireland are just exploring all of the streets.  They have so much character.  Unique shops, delightful cafes and pubs, and so many colorful accents.  Lunch at The Fig Tree Cafe and Bistro is a perfect stop.  When you are ready for dinner, walk across the bridge to Matt the Miller’s pub.  Great live music and a fun atmosphere.
