Kilkenny
The city of Kilkenny boasts
Ireland's most preserved Medieval town centre - the Castle and
Cathedral which dominate the town are gems
of Irish architecture.
The
county has numerous ancient sites including Iron Age fortifications,
inscribed stones and crosses, castles, and abbeys.
The central part of County Kilkenny is undulating limestone plain,
bordered in some areas by gently sloping hills. In the north
are
the attractive uplands of the Castlecomer district and the Slieveardagh
hills and Booley hills extend across the County Tipperary border
on the west.
Kilkenny is good sporting country, with excellent facilities
for hunting, angling, shooting and golf.
