Overview

Walk the Medieval Mile, hear the stories of Kilkenny.

Quirky tales of medieval life and lives. Witches, merchants, psychopathic bishops and why they grow yew trees in graveyards !
We welcome children on the tour but the stories are of witches, political skulduggery, irish history and murder. So therefore it speaks more to adults than small children.

Guide in costume - great for Insta photos !
