What to expect
Out through the Military Road and the Sally Gap bog to Glendalough's round tower and lakes, then south to Kilkenny for the castle, St Canice's and lunch on the Medieval Mile.
Monastic city + Sally Gap + medieval Kilkenny Departures run from Ireland, and the whole experience takes about 10 hours — enough to fit it into a single day of a wider Ireland itinerary.
