The fine stonework of the multi-arched bridge over the River Nore at Inistioge village, the banks are lined with Himalayan Balsam.

You can walk along the banks of the beautiful River Nore by the historic village of Inistioge.

One of several ruined medieval buildings in the village.

The centre of Inistioge

The medieval church of St. Marys, Church of Ireland, Inistioge.

On the left, the ruined Augustinian Priory, in the middle, the medieval St Mary's Church, and on the right, the Catholic Church of St. Columcille (built 1836).

The church tower of St Mary (middle building) is 12th C and known as the 'White Tower', the far left priory ruin is known as the 'Black Castle'.

The interior of the Catholic Church of St. Columcille and part of the stained glass window.

The entrances to the churches of St Columcille (left) and St. Mary's (right) as a storm approaches!

There are plenty of places to eat and drink in Inistioge e.g. 'The Circle of Friends' in the centre of the village (left) and 'The Old Schoolhouse Cafe' down by the river (right) and most welcome hospitality as the weather changed dramatically!

	Inistioge, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland: Inistioge is a small and picturesque village set on the banks of the beautiful Rive Nore in County Kilkenny, Ireland. It is a popular tourist destination, with lots to see and hosts an awful lot of places to eat and drink in the way of bars, pubs, cafe's, restaurants etc. e.g. the budget 'Old Schoolhouse' River Cafe on the banks of the River Nore spanned by a fine multi-arched bridge.
	The Circle of Friends Restaurant is named after the film that was shot in the village of Inistioge and there is also the 'Square Cafe' below it. A stroll by the beautiful setting of the River Nore and visit to the historic church of St. Marys, Church of Ireland, should help work up a good appetite before eating in the village.
	Just up from one of several ruined medieval buildings in the village is the splendidly gaily painted O'Donnell's Bar, a typical 'Irish' bar-pub, in Inistioge, but watch the Guinness consumption or you will be ruined and end up in an early grave! In this case the graveyard of St Mary's (Church of Ireland) and St. Columcille's (Catholic Church).
