Unlock the mysteries of medieval Kilkenny in a self-guided audio tour, perfect for history buffs and adventure seekers. Your virtual guide, Amanda Pitcairn, will lead you on a journey through time, echoing the tales of knights, kings, and everyday life in 1100s Ireland. Starting at the imposing Kilkenny Castle, this tour moves through cobbled streets to St. Canice's Cathedral, lined with ancient stone buildings and historic landmarks, revealing a vivid past at every corner. The route will take you past the grand Shee House, into the cool Butter Slip, and beside bustling Kieran Street, before arriving at the spiritual heart of the city — St. Canice's Cathedral. Along the way, you'll encounter fascinating sites like the Rothe House, the Black Abbey, and remnants of Old City Walls. The most memorable moments include standing before the striking east window of the Black Abbey, examining the effigy of a 14th-century lady, and visualizing the busy marketplace of the Tholsel, brimming with stories encased in limestone and stained glass.
