Picture postcard Inistioge the perfect romantic getaway for couples: guide

BEAUTIFUL Inistioge has featured alongside the Cliffs of Moher and Powerscourt Gardens as one of the most romantic day-trip venues in the country for loved-up couples this Valentine’s Day.

The guide, published in the Irish Examiner, describes the famous county Kilkenny village as the perfect spot “for couples who want to get away from it all for a weekend”.

It adds: “Inistioge was also the setting for big screen movies Circle of Friends and Widows’ Peak.

“Today, the village bustles with visitors and there are lots of easy walks by the river and through Woodstock Gardens and Arboretum, perched high on a hill above the village.”
