Ballyragget

united kingdom

Ballyragget sits along the River Nore in County Kilkenny, serving as a handy stop between Kilkenny city and Portlaoise on the N77. The town is 15 kilometres north of Kilkenny city, with Dublin drivers typically coming via the M7 to Portlaoise then south on the N77. The main attraction is the elegant seven-arch stone bridge over the Nore, built in the 18th century and still the primary crossing point for the valley.
