Day 6
Then, explore Kilkenny, a medieval city straddling the banks of the River Nore, on an included walking tour with your Program Director. Your tour will take you to the sprawling gardens of Kilkenny Castle, an 800-year-old stronghold that lords over the city center. Though originally designed to defend a crossing over the River Nore, the castle's grounds today provide a peaceful place for locals and visitors alike to stroll about and admire the impressive artisanal floristry on display. Your tour concludes with an included lunch. The rest of the day is yours to spend at leisure.

Kilkenny
This morning, partake in an exclusive Discovery Series event as you learn about hurling, an energetic and uniquely Irish sport, similar to field hockey or lacrosse, with traditional Gaelic roots. The Irish have been playing the game since the Celts invented it 2,000 years ago, and take an immense amount of pride in the game. You'll learn all about the game as a former player demonstrates his skillful moves, and you'll watch as an expert craftsman masterfully transforms a plank of ash into a hurley (the stick used to play the game) in his workshop.
