The Route

Kilkenny is a vibrant medieval city in the heart of Ireland’s Ancient East, about 120 km (75 miles) southwest of Dublin. It’s small enough to explore on foot yet packed with charm, history, and lively hospitality. Visitors love the mix of historic landmarks, artisan shops, and friendly pubs.

How to Get There:

By Car: The M9 motorway connects Dublin and Kilkenny directly — a scenic journey of around 90 minutes.

By Train: Regular services from Dublin Heuston Station reach Kilkenny (MacDonagh Station) in about 1 hour 45 minutes.

By Bus: Expressway and JJ Kavanagh coaches run frequent services between Kilkenny, Dublin, and other major cities.

Full of charm, history, and hospitality, it’s an ideal base for exploring the southeast of Ireland and taking unforgettable day trips.

What To Bring

Be Ready For Adventure!

Make sure to bring a sense of adventure as we will leave no stone unturned. Sometimes we have to make unscheduled stops for leprechauns to cross the road, to take photos of rainbows, to catch a local festival, to see an ancient archaeological site that just happens to be on our route.
