Hiking

Kilkenny's Lacken Walk is adorned with the captivating presence of a mysterious and beautiful ruin. This charming old building, nestled among the trees and kissed by ivy, is a true enigma. With each stone that has weathered over time, it tells a story of a bygone era.

Its picturesque decay is a testament to the passage of time, and the beauty that can be found in even the most forgotten corners of a city. As you walk along the Lacken Walk, this ruin offers a glimpse into Kilkenny's rich history and the elegance that once graced its streets.
