Overview

Located 10 miles south of Kilkenny city, Thomastown is a small town, with a population of about 2,500, situated on the banks of the river Nore. A perfect location for those who wish to unwind, the area is surrounded by lush countryside, offering fine views of the granite hills to the south of the town. Thomastown's signature attraction, Jerpoint Abbey dates back to 1200AD, while the delightful Kilfane Waterfall and Glenshould provide distraction for both young and old. Ample accommodation can be found in the many quality B&Bs in the area, but if it's real luxury you're after, your best option is probably the Mount Juliet Hotel and Golf Course.
