What To Expect

Kilkenny

The drive from Dublin to the historic city of Kilkenny is a scenic and enjoyable journey, taking approximately an hour and 40 minutes. Along the way, you’ll wind through the picturesque Irish countryside, passing lush rolling hills, quaint villages, and the occasional herd of sheep grazing in verdant pastures. Kilkenny itself is a city steeped in history, dating back to the 6th century when it was founded as a monastic settlement. Over the centuries, it has served as an important political and cultural hub, with the powerful Butler family constructing an imposing castle on the banks of the River Nore in the 12th century. This magnificent medieval castle, with its impressive towers and defensive walls, has stood the test of time and is now one of Kilkenny’s most iconic landmarks.

Waterford

The scenic drive from Kilkenny to Waterford takes approximately one hour, winding through the lush, verdant landscapes that have become synonymous with the Emerald Isle. As you approach Waterford, the first thing that catches your eye is the iconic Waterford Crystal, a world-renowned brand synonymous with the city itself. Established in 1783, the Waterford Crystal factory stands as a testament to the region’s rich glassmaking heritage, offering visitors a chance to witness the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into each meticulously cut and polished crystal piece. Beyond the crystal, the city of Waterford beckons with a wealth of cultural and historical attractions just waiting to be explored. If you have the time, you can embark on the Vikings Triangle walking tour, which guides you through Waterford’s Viking past, bringing to life the city’s origins as a key settlement for these seafaring raiders.
