Jerpoint Park, Thomastown

4.7
#6 of 16 in Historic Sites in Kilkenny
Historic Site Tourist Spot
Get a breath of fresh air at Jerpoint Park, a historical spot filled with wildlife and impressive old trees. Walk among the oaks, chestnuts, limes, and beeches, and keep an eye out for birds. If you are feeling adventurous, take advantage of the park's "tracker packs," which include binoculars, a compass, and a magnifying glass. Watch a sheepdog demonstration and observe how the dog and its owner communicate and work together to herd sheep. This site also makes a perfect fishing spot--ask about the wild salmon and brown trout fishing.

    In June, I was with friends in Thomastown in the beautiful park of Jerpoint, and Church. Because I often was in Ireland, I wanted to see what's new. Here this place was recommended to me.

This took us through the beautiful garden and we could lead us figuratively in mind, as it looked in ancient times here. It was a very important place. Even Santa Claus was buried there. John has a very interesting stories, and I can only recommend it

Where to stay in Kilkenny

©
For a historical Irish experience, stay in Kilkenny County's namesake city, a medieval destination with no shortage of lodging options. If you are interested in exploring the central sights of this city, stay at one of the many hotels, hostels, or bed and breakfasts near its center. For something more affordable, head to the outskirts and look into guesthouse options. You can also choose a nearby spa if you want to splurge on a relaxing getaway.
