    Hiking

    The hurling statue near the River Nore in Kilkenny, located at Canal Square close to Lacken Walk, is a tribute to Kilkenny’s rich hurling heritage. Sculpted by Barry Wrafter out of Kilkenny limestone, the monument stands 14 feet tall and features three players in action, capturing the energy and passion of hurling, Kilkenny's beloved sport.

    This impressive piece has become a popular spot for locals and tourists, framed by the scenic backdrop of Kilkenny Castle and the River Nore. The statue was officially unveiled in May 2016, symbolizing Kilkenny's deep connection to hurling.
