Spring IN KILKENNY

Line Divider

With longer, brighter evenings to look forward to, a host of new baby animals, and beautiful bursts of colour from flowers, it’s time to jump-start into spring! There’s real beauty in the wildlife-rich landscape of Kilkenny in spring, with its vivid colours and changing textures.

From kayaking and picnics in beautiful surrounds, to farm visits at Nore Valley Park or you can even watch a sheep-shearing demonstration at Jerpoint Park to activity centres there is plenty to entertain and delight.

Walk one of the many walking trails Kilkenny has to offer or take a cycling tour around the city or the beautiful countryside in Graiguenamanagh or Inistioge.

Enjoy a day out in one of our amazing parks and admire their floral collections of snowdrops and bluebells. From countryside gardens in Woodstock Gardens to the fabulous parklands at Kilkenny Castle. Or take in some culture with a visit to Rothe House & Gardens or Butler House and gardens in the city.

Head off the beaten track and explore the Hidden Gems in Kilkenny this Spring!

After all It’s All Here…in Kilkenny
