Local Attractions
|
Welcome to Carlow where the layers of Ireland's ancient history live today.
The South East of Ireland is fittingly described as 'River Valleys in an Ancient Land', in acknowledgement of the fact that this most ancient corner of Ireland has a pleasing concentration of historical attractions which are very often set deep in tranquil, scenic river valleys. This is especially true of County Carlow. No other county can boast the same density of early field monuments, Celtic settlements, druidic places of interest and locations of renown.
Carlow town lies in the heartland of this rich, vibrant, farming county. It is a modern town, its progressive community rightly pride themselves on the range of facilities and attractions they now offer to their growing numbers of visitors. Bright, well stocked stores vie with small, specialised shops and studios for your attention. All collectively convey a busy buzz of activity while extending a welcoming message to both the visitor and native Carlovian alike.
Wherever you roam in Carlow - and the county lends itself to unhurried exploration by motor car, bicycle or on foot you will discover a fascinating history, set in an untouched landscape of culture and heritage.
Annual Events
Eigse Arts Festival, every year mid-June

The River Barrow is itself a centre of sporting activities. It offers superb game angling, while coarse angling is well catered for in both Carlow town and near Graignamanagh and Saint Mullins. The Slaney River near Tullow is a famous salmon river.
