County Development Plan Chapter 8

8          Heritage

8.1       Introduction

County Kilkenny has a rich and varied heritage. It includes our rivers, woodlands, landscape, hedgerows, our historic churches and abbeys, our medieval towns and villages and much more.  Kilkenny’s heritage is that which makes the county unique, what gives it its special character and its ‘sense of place’. It is a reflection and expression of our values and traditions.

County Development Plan Chapter 7

 

7              Recreation, Tourism and the Arts

7.1          Introduction

The island of Ireland has long had an image of a less crowded and green environment, beautiful scenery, welcoming people and a distinctive and accessible heritage and culture. Tourism based upon these natural and cultural resources has in turn provided an economic and social benefit. However, there are challenges in ensuring that these natural resources; upon which tourism depends, are maintained and enhanced in the future.
