The Medieval Mile of Kilkenny

During an hour and a half drive to Kilkenny, you will see real Irish landscapes with ubiquitous grazing cows and sheep, which will help you prepare for the perception of medieval life and life of the city.

Our tour of the Medieval Mile will begin with the majestic Kilkenny Castle and the park surrounding it. Less than two kilometers away, you will see many historical monuments, including the medieval Cathedral of St. Kainas and the equally ancient Black Abbey.

We will visit the museum of medieval life, located in a real medieval house, at will, climb the 30-meter round tower of the VIII century, from where we will see the whole city from a bird's eye view.

By lunchtime, we'll be walking past pubs, including the old Kyteler's Inn pub, where over a beer we'll hear the true story of her landlady, who, along with her maid, became the first European victim of the Witch Hunt.

After lunch or before, we can visit the museum of the oldest brewery in Ireland Smitwick's, where in addition to the excursion, we will taste three varieties of delicious Irish ale of the manufacturer.

And if you still have the strength, we can visit the largest private school in Ireland, Kilkenny College, which in almost 500 years of its existence has produced many famous people, including Jonathan Swift, who wrote Gullover’s Journey and the philosopher George Berkeley.
