Kilkenny, Ireland

Photography Tour in Kilkenny

The best photos of Kilkenny aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

A medieval Irish city of limestone laneways, a Norman castle, and a concentration of craft and design studios.
