High standard urban garden to attract more tourists to Kilkenny

Kilkenny needs a high standard garden attraction like Altamount in Carlow in order to draw more tourists to the city.

So says County manager Joe Crockett as design teams bid for a brand new million euro project that will see a linear garden developed along the banks of the Nore.

Its part of the ‘Medieval Mile’ project backed by Failte Ireland.

Mr Crockett says it will help attract the tourists that Ireland is currently chasing.
