Its location suits drivers who want to leave the car centrally and continue on foot through the historic area towards the site.

A secure 24/7 commercial garage in Kilkenny is 1.0 km away and costs €3 an hour. A space at MacDonagh Junction is 1.3 km away and costs €3 an hour.

The official castle directions also make clear that parking is near the castle rather than on the castle grounds (kilkennycastle.ie). ## Walking From Kilkenny Stations to Shirehall Castle Shirehall Castle is 700 m from Kilkenny City centre, so visitors using rail can continue through the central area on foot after arriving.
