Goresbridge

Stop to explore the tiny village of Goresbridge in east County Kilkenny, which is located on the River Barrow and famous for producing international sport horses. 

Enjoy a cup of coffee or a bite to eat at The Goodly Barrow, a local cafe situated right by the River Barrow. Take a short stroll across Gore’s Bridge, an iconic 9-arch granite bridge across the Barrow, and you’re in the village, where you’ll find several supermarkets, Gourmet Grill, where you can enjoy a meal, and a historic church. Take a trip to Tirlan FarmLife Goresbridge, a local cooperative which is perfect for visiting with children, or check out Goresbridge Horse Sales, an auction house for horses. Further down the River Barrow, you’ll find People’s Park, a local beauty spot perfect for a picnic or a serene moment of reflection.
