Dark Kilkenny Ghosts & Witches

“There was another Kilkenny far removed from the glitter of uniforms and ball gowns and the delights of gentleman players, an ever increasing and crowded city where the poor lived in squalor”. It was world of savage punishments and sudden violence and public execution was frequent enough in the city.

It was the first city in Ireland to convict Dame Alice Kyteler as a witch who escaped from death to where is a mystery? Married to four wealthy husbands?

The Ghost in Kilkenny Castle grounds referred to the Lady in the White dress?

The 16 who died on Johns Bridge in 1760?

It was just the four of us on our tour and we found it very enjoyable and informative. Pat had a lovely manner and certainly knows his stuff. We would say it is definitely worth doing. Thanks again Pat.

Excellent walking tour - don't miss in Kilkenny

Pat Tynan presents his city superbly . He knows every aspect of it and conveys his story in a fresh and interesting fashion. I really enjoyed his tour. Great value

Pat Tynan and his passion for local history

As part of our research before leaving for our trip of Ireland, we read about the tour that Pat Tynan conducts on Trip Advisor. We walked to the Information Centre from our B&B in pouring rain and as we were a bit late the receptionist kindly contacted Pat on his mobile and we caught up with him at the Town Hall. Pat’s passion for Irish history made the one hour tour very interesting. Well worth the 10 Euro cost.

Great tour of the Medieval Mile with Pat

This tour leaves from the tourist information office each day at 2pm. The tour guide Pat is a local who clearly cares about his city and knows a great deal about it. The tour is very good with a lot of local information and history. Definitely worth the €10 we paid
