Kilkenny is almost equal distance from Dublin and Cork.
It is in the heart of Ireland's South-East, Kilkenny is well served by national primary routes between the major cities and towns and also by Dublin and Cork international airports, both within two hours drive. Rosslare Ferryport serves UK and European ferryports and is just over an hour's drive from the city.
Fanad House overlooking Kilkenny Castle Park is a five minute walk from the City centre.
