The Medieval Mile is the heritage trail connecting Kilkenny Castle at one end of the city to St Canice's Cathedral at the other, passing through the Black Abbey, Rothe House, the Black Freren Gate, and the Hole in the Wall — Ireland's highest concentration of medieval urban fabric in a single walkable route. The Medieval Mile Museum in a former 13th-century Gothic church displays the finest collection of medieval artefacts in Ireland. Hotels along the Medieval Mile are in the very heart of Kilkenny's ancient and remarkably intact city centre.
