Frequently Asked Questions

We offer routes at different paces, from leisurely 2-3 km walks to more adventurous 6 km routes. Most paths along the Nore riverside are relatively flat, and the castle gardens are accessible with gentle slopes. If you have specific mobility concerns, let us know when booking and we'll suggest the best option for you.

Spring (April-May) brings blooming rhododendrons and azaleas, while summer offers lush green spaces perfect for photography. Autumn is equally stunning with golden foliage, and even winter has its charm with structural plantings. Honestly, each season offers something different—there's no bad time to visit.

Wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip—riverside paths can be muddy, especially after rain. Bring water, sunscreen, and a light layer since weather can change quickly in Ireland. We recommend binoculars if you're interested in birdwatching, as the Nore has plenty of wildlife.

Most experiences run 2-3 hours, including a gentle pace with stops to take in the scenery and hear local stories. We're not rushing—it's about enjoying the landscape and learning something new about Kilkenny's history.
