Air Experience: Kilkenny, Irelands Ancient East

Description

Welcome to Irelands Ancient East. Kilkenny is known as the medieval county of Ireland. Located in the southeast of Ireland, Kilkenny is enriched with history. Its foundation dates back to the 6th century and the city’s past is still visible in the many structures from that time. The first of the ancient structures we’ll visit is Jerpoint Abbey, founded in the 12th century, Jerpoint Abbey is one of the best examples of a medieval Cistercian Abbey in Ireland, renowned for its detailed stone sculptures found throughout the monastery. Next we’ll take in the beautiful Mount Juliet Estate, a compelling history, splendid Georgian architecture, and some of the best landscapes in Ireland – all come together to make Mount Juliet a very special place. Following Mount Juliet, is Kells Priory. Kells Priory owes its foundation to the Anglo-Norman consolidation of Leinster. Lastly, We’ll view Killkenny Castle. Few buildings in Ireland can boast a longer history of continuous occupation than Kilkenny Castle. Founded soon after the Norman conquest of Ireland, the Castle has been rebuilt, extended and adapted to suit changing circumstances and uses over a period of 800 years.
