Kilkenny Alley

One of the well preserved medieval alleyways leading off the main street in Kilkenny.

Very well preserved, not at all what one pictures when you hear the word alley.

It looks so much like the Temple Bar Archway in Dublin - without the litter… and the guy playing the bodhran.

This is a lovely picture i love the darkness of the path and the light behind. Did you use any filters or computer enhancements on it?

Nice Photo, thats called a “slip” as opposed to an alley, this one is called the “butter slip” as it was where butter was sold in mediaevel times. I grew up quite close to there

This is no alley, it’s the “Butterslip Lane”, this was where the butter stalls were laid out on the way down to the Market Yard.
