Medieval Mile Kilkenny

Kilkenny’s Medieval Mile will bring you on a journey of discovery from the Anglo-Norman Kilkenny Castle to the 13th century St. Canice’s Cathedral. Outside in the Castle Yard, venture into the Kilkenny Design Centre and explore The National Craft Gallery which has a range of inspiring crafts from both national and international artists. Another great attraction on the Medieval Mile is the Medieval Mile Museum which brings to life Kilkenny’s history as Ireland’s premier medieval city. As you continue on towards St Canice’s Cathedral, stop off at Smithwick’s Brewery and explore the craft of ale-making mastered by 13th-century local monks. End your Kilkenny discovery at St Canice’s Cathedral, named after St Canice (Cill Chainnigh – Canice’s Church) who founded a 6th-century monastic settlement. Then climb up the 100ft, 9th-century Round Tower beside the cathedral, where you can enjoy the most wonderful views over the city.’
