When the rare Irish sun decides to grace Graiguenamanagh with its presence, the locals know exactly what to do: head straight for the old stone bridge over the River Barrow. At least it was in the summer of 2013. I doubt they’re doing it today, in the middle of December.

I haven’t been to Graiguenamanagh in Kilkenny very often, which is unfortunate as it’s a pretty town, but here’s a photo of some of the boats tied up on the river there from quite some time ago.

I visited Inistioge many years ago and enjoyed a nice afternoon there. By the river there’s a lovely a walk which we took advantage of, and today I can share one of the photos I took that day. According to the town website this bridge was built in 1765. It’s well worth a visit!

This lovely little dog was a constant presence in the reception of Dunmore Cave, Co Kilkenny back in 2013. Hopefully he’s still around delighting visitors!
