Gowran

Ireland

Gowran sits on the N9 between Dublin and Waterford, about 15 kilometres north of Kilkenny city. The M9 motorway runs parallel for quicker connections to Dublin (130km) and Cork (160km), while local roads branch toward Thomastown and New Ross. It's a handy stop for touring the Nore Valley, with around 40 EV charging points in the area. Gowran Park Racecourse is the town's main draw, hosting flat racing and national hunt events that transform this quiet market town into a proper hub of excitement on race days.
