Located in Kilkenny City, Talbot’s Tower is a historic gem that is often overlooked or missed by visitors and locals alike.
It is the only surviving complete defensive tower of the city wall circuit in Kilkenny and has undergone an impressive programme of restoration, conservation and interpretation.
Talbot’s Tower can be accessed via Lower New Street and there is ample seating at the site where you can sit back for a moment and use your imagination to travel back through centuries of history.
