Castledermot to Kilkenny

Drove today from our little inn to Kilkenny. We found a discovery park near Castlecomer but unfortunately most of the activities were closed or booked out. We did visit the Irish Mining Museum there, about coal mining in the area and how they happened across some of the oldest fossils in the world in the peat.

Back on the road again.

In Kilkenny it took us a while to find the RV parking area which was made with 12 spots... there would have been close to 30 RVs there... the sign said to leave 6m between vans... there was lucky to be 1m between each...

We went for a walk into town to explore and we took the long way around to visit the Kilkenny Castle... beautiful as expected.

The we visited the St Marys Medieval Museum in the old St. Marys church. The tour included many, many headstones and crypts of various people inside the church as well as in the graveyard... very interesting.

The town has parts of the original city walls or towers for the city entries. Quite interesting. We walked along most of the 'medieval mile' which has about 12 attractions along the way. It was late-ish so most were closing. Tomorrow is another day.
Dinner at a nice pub around the corner from the RV site. The Roots Festival was this weekend (Bank holiday on monday) and there were bands due to play everywhere... we could hear them from the RV site but it didnt stop us falling asleep.
