Interesting historic facts, it is well marked. It takes about two hours to see the whole way. It's interesting for adults and for children.

Kilkenny way was one of the best experiences I had while staying in kilkenny. It was a blast to go out onto the field and learn how to play hurling. The guides were informative and helpful and made the experience a great time.

I was fortunate enough to learn hurling one day in Kilkenny as apart of my winter session study abroad. This was one of the highlights of the trip for me, as the guys were great teachers and we had an amazing time playing around and learning such a classic sport.

The Kilkenny Way hurling tour is the most fun thing you can do in Kilkenny. PJ who runs the tours knows almost everything about the GAA and hurling and is a great guide. He took me through the history of the sport, from the myths through to the modern day legends and then showed me how to play. We headed over to a hurling field 5 minutes from his pub (Lanigans - another must do!) where I was schooled in the basics. It took a few minutes to get in the swing of things, but the first time I hit one properly was amazing. I could easily have stayed all day hitting the 'sliotar' (ball) with PJ. It's just great fun - you have to do it!

It's a nice walk, just don't get distracted on the way. There's a path, be sure you don't wander away from it.

Perhaps the most surprising city I found on a two-week organized tour of the Homeland (with a name like Murphy, go figure☺) was Kilkenny. The group stayed at the pleasing Pembroke Hotel, where I was treated with extreme hospitality and wonderful meals at the two on-site restaurants. I found Kilkenny Castle (Caisleán Chill Chainnigh, in the Irish language) to be the best restored of the two dozen that I visited.The surprise came on a Saturday morning in July. The tour had organized a stop at the most famous maker of hurling bats, something that vaguely resembles a combined golf club and cricket bat. He actually carved the rough form out of a single piece of ash wood, which was passed amongst the 40 group members. At that demonstration I squatted down to retrieve a ball dropped at my feet by an older dog. A younger but full-grown dog joined the fun by leaping against my chest, knocking me onto my back. Because of a neurological condition from a previous spinal injury, the sudden bending exacerbated pain to the extent of spending two days in St. Luke Hospital. The tour group moved on to the hurling demonstration. All I saw of it was photos taken by group members. I hope to return next year, to complete my journey.

most places visited were on level ground. The town plan was very easy to understand and all areas visited were in easy reach of our hotel

We had a great time learning about hurling. PJ was knowledgeable and interesting. He took a group of Yankees who knew nothing about the game and turned us onto fans!

PJ and Owen started by providing my group of 25 with a riveting history of hurling in Ireland. We then walked over to the pitch and learned the ins and outs of the game. By the time we needed to wrap up, we didn't want to leave. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to hurl again thanks to PJ and Owen.
