Freshford
County Kilkenny is a beautiful,
picturesque, Georgian town lies
below the Skieveardagh hills
just 10 minutes from Kilkenny
city. The town has a
fantastic green, surrounded by
chestnut trees, benches to relax
on and enjoy the tranquillity of
the area and talk with the
friendly local people who are
justly proud of their heritage.
On one corner of
the green stands a 7th century
church. This church has a richly
decorated Irish Romanesque porch
incorporated into the present
church in the 1100's. It is for
Protestant worship.
On another
corner is the Catholic church.
The visible beauty of the town
becomes you to stop. It's ease,
tranquillity and friendliness of
its people leaves a lasting
impression.
