This stretch of the South Leinster Way provides glorious moorland views from the western side of Brandon Hill. Wild plateaus rise above patchwork farmland, a lovely sight when the conditions are right. The summit of Brandon Hill marks the highest point in County Kilkenny and the views from its flanks are extensive.

This is a scenic bridge across the beautiful River Barrow, a fine sight on both the Barrow Way and South Leinster Way long-distance trails. The river here marks the border between Counties Kilkenny and Carlow.

The Black Abbey in Kilkenny, founded in 1225, is a beautifully restored Dominican monastery with a rich history. Its name comes from the "Black Friars," as the Dominicans were known due to their black cloaks. The abbey has been a place of worship for centuries and remains active today, with daily Masses and regular community events. The architecture is striking, featuring towering stone walls, arches, and stunning stained-glass windows, including the famous Rosary Window, the largest stained-glass window in Ireland. One of the abbey’s highlights is a 15th-century alabaster statue of the Holy Trinity, a significant relic discovered during renovations. Although it faced neglect in the 18th century, the Black Abbey was restored and reconsecrated in the 19th century, becoming a key historical and religious site in Kilkenny.

peaceful and quiet area for a rest.

Below the castle you have a beautiful view of the River Nore. From above too, of course.

Beautiful town on the River Nore. Inistioge has a grocery store and a pub that offers overnight accommodation. We stayed there on our long-distance hike from Ireland to Switzerland and can highly recommend the Woodstock Arms.
