Attractions |
Located
in the south-east of the country, Kilkenny is Ireland's
medieval capital. The city is steeped in history,
dominated by superb ancient architecture, such as
the magnificent Kilkenny Castle, one of Ireland's
most famous castles. Built by the Normans in 1190,
and occupied by the Butler family for 500 years,
the fortress has been restored to its former glory.
Kilkenny is also famous as an international centre
of contemporary art & culture. The Kilkenny
Design centre, located in the old stables and coach
house of Kilkenny Castle, has an extensive range
of Irish craft products. The centre stocks Irish-made
clothing for both ladies and men, crystal, ceramics,
linens and a wide range of beautiful gifts from
all over Ireland.
The Kilkenny Studio Workshops are clustered in the
scenic valley of the river Nore, in the heart of
the county. One of the best ways of sampling this
tree-lined area of hills and vales is to meander
slowly from workshop to studio, taking in the sights
along the way.
Kilkenny is superbly equipped for golf, fishing
and equestrian activities. We boast the famous Mount
Juliet championship golf course, just fifteen minutes
from the City, and where the prestigious American
Express Golf Championship was hosted in September
2002. The staff at Butler House can arrange reservations
for you!
Kilkenny plays host to such renowned festivals as
the Cat Laughs Comedy Festival in May and the Kilkenny
Arts Festival in August.
Kilkenny City is situated in an ideal central location
- just over an hour from Dublin, and two hours from
Shannon.
