“ day trip to Cashel ”

Is anyone aware of where the best base is for a trip to the Rock? I found only 1 tour company and they don't know if they will have enough people to go the day I'm there so any suggestions? Thank you! Fiona

No I can't see any direct public transport options from Kilkenny to Cashel. It's 40 miles distant too expensive by taxi unless there was a large group.

I can't comment on the Rock as it's been years since I was there, but read this post and make up your own mind.

This question has been asked before.Cashel, from Kilkenny is a nightmare on public transport. If you have Cork on your itinerary then there is a direct bus link from there.
