What to See and Do in Kilkenny
Kilkenny is a beautiful little town with so much charm. Exploring the castle and grounds was definitely a highlight. Exploring the cute little shops was also one of our favorites.

If you are driving from Dublin to Kilkenny and you have extra time be sure to stop at:
- 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
