Five Kilkenny heritage gems you should visit this summer!

Have you been to any of these Kilkenny sites?

2) Kilmogue Portal Tomb

Kilmogue Portal Tomb, also known as ‘Leac An Scail’, is noted for being the tallest dolmen of its kind in Ireland.

A jewel of local heritage, the dolmen can be found pitted amongst the sloping green hills of south-west Kilkenny.

Constructed all the way back around 4000-3000 BC, it has held up so incredibly well through the millenia.

Once again, it’s in a wonderfully peaceful spot and new car parking facilities were recently installed for those seeking to access the attraction.

While you’re in the area, you might as well pay a visit to the nearby Poulanassy Waterfall.
