See why this is important.Probably one of my favorite tours in County Kilkenny… The lost town of Newtown Jerpoint, at Jerpoint Park, just across the river from Jerpoint Abbey. Joe and Maeve O'Connell, owners of this land, share the history with such passion and lead such a thorough tour that you can see the roads laid out before you as you explore the once bustling town.
