Around Kilkenny

We stayed at the "Castle View" B & B, a few miles north west of Kilkenny. And just down the road is the castle, from which the name is derived!

Foulksrath Castle, north of Kilkenny & near B & B

The castle. Now used as a youth hostel. The meals are catered from the delightful restaurant in Ballyragget, which we discovered as it was recommended by our host.

Downtown Kilkenny (Parliament St.)

In Parliament Street, downtown Kilkenny. It was a Sunday, of a three day weekend, and quite a few stores were closed.

Downtown Kilkenny (Parliament St.) - where we had lunch

We enjoyed a light lunch at ML Dore's fine establishment. Apart from serving food, it also had quite a collection of old memorabilia.

And there's also this old delivery truck, restored to a fine state.

After lunch we headed south, towards Waterford and the coast.
