Nore Valley Walk - Inistioge to Thomastown Section

A mix of riverbank, forest and road, the linear Inistioge to Thomastown trail is the third section of the three-leg Nore Valley Walk.

Taking three hours to complete and easy underfoot, this stretch of the idyllic Nore Valley Walk takes you through diverse countryside, pastoral lands and woodland rich in flora and fauna.

You’ll pass historic architectural gems at Georgian Ballyduff House and the ruins of both Grennan Castle and Dysart Castle. The River Nore environment, the grassy banks of which you’ll follow, is home to all manner of wonderful wildlife; from salmon to bats - so keep your eyes peeled.

At the trail’s end in the picturesque market town of Thomastown, you’ll find plenty of places to eat, drink and relax among County Kilkenny’s delightful scenery.
