KILKENNY SEPTEMBER 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\n\n\n\n

I managed to explore a section of Bennetsbridge Road but did not travel as far as the village but I intend to visit next year when I am in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bennettsbridge is a village in County Kilkenny in Ireland. It is situated on the River Nore 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south of Kilkenny city, in the centre of the county. Bennettsbridge is a census town, and has population of 745 as of the 2016 census.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The village is on the R700 road at a stone bridge crossing of the Nore between Kilkenny and Thomastown. It has become a craft centre in recent years, with several pottery and craft producers located at the old mill beside the weir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The village is part of the parish of Tullaherin which contains an almost intact 9th-century round tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
