Urlingford

Urlingford is a town and parish in north-west County Kilkenny, adjacent to the border with County Tipperary. Its name is from the Irish Áth na nUrlainn, meaning 'Ford of the slaughter'.

The town lies on the R639 road, with the M8 motorway running just to the west. Situated 78 miles from Dublin and 80 miles from Cork, Urlingford has long been a resting-point for travellers half way between the Republic of Ireland's two largest cities. (Read more)
