Kilkenny, Carlow and Wexford
County Kilkenny
Medieval Kilkenny city (Cill Chainnigh; 
www.kilkenny.ie ) Wexford is a splendid place to pass a couple of days, thanks to its magnificent castle and other historical sites, and a plethora of fine pubs and restaurants. The delights of the area's countryside are best enjoyed in its southern reaches, where the lush valleys of the rivers Nore and Barrow encompass the evocative remains of monastic foundations including Jerpoint Abbey, and waterside towns and villages such as Inistioge.
