Walk the Medieval Mile with Pat

From the corner of the High Street, we look up to the castle. Hear the history of early Kilkenny.

Old town hall, with clock above.

Shee Alms House (the Tourist Office was previously here, but it has now moved to High Street). The Alms House was a charitable institution in the Tudor period.

14th century pub ... where you can still enjoy a meal & a pint. Home of the notorious witch of Kilkenny .... Alice Kyteler.

Tudor merchants house, fully restored.

800 year old cathedral, with climbable round tower. One of only two towers you can climb in Ireland.

Hear the story of the monks who started the oldest brewery in Ireland.

Hear the stories of highwaymen and rebels. The prison and execution point for centuries in Kilkenny. Shackled & heading for transportation or execution, they have all passed through here.

End in the graveyard where the great and powerful are buried. Soldiers, crooked politicians and the devout - rest side by side. St Mary's church is now the Medieval Mile Museum ... entry not included, but highly recommended.
