Carlow is about 45 miles north of Waterford and 50 miles south of Dublin. I don't know it well, but it seems a relaxed, easy-going town, situated in the Barrow River valley in the middle of rich, rolling countryside. It's got two beautiful churches with slim, almost delicate looking spires; Carlow Castle, a 13th Century fortification on the River Barrow; the Barrow Way, running for miles along the riverbank north and south of the town; and the famous Browneshill Dolmen, which has the largest capstone in Europe, if not the world. Every year in early/mid-June, Carlow holds its Eigse Festival of Arts, Crafts, Street events and general celebration. |
