Join a tour to get into the Kilkenny countryside. Discover lots of hidden gems in the county – we visit the famous Mosse pottery and Jerpoint hand blown glass. Both produce beautifully unique pieces of work. Visit the nearby Jerpoint Abbey, a 12th century ruined Cistercian abbey with exquisite stone carvings. Visit Gruaignamanagh and its famous Duiske Abbey. It is home to the oldest woollen mill in Ireland who turn raw fleece into beautiful wool products since 1778. Learn the process and history on a private tour.
Lunch in a local café and we will visit a traditional Irish pub on route back to your hotel.
From the mysterious tombs of Newgrange to the medieval streets of Kilkenny and the Viking legacy of Waterford, every corner reveals a new chapter of Ireland’s rich past. Visitors can explore castles, abbeys, and heritage sites, while also enjoying local food, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality.
