Over 100 Things To Do In Carlow

Visitor Attractions in County Carlow

On our boat trips, we are often asked for suggestions for things to do in Carlow. In truth, there are loads of things to do and places to see in the county. Therefore, I’ve put together the following list of “over 100 things to do in county Carlow” so as to make things a little easier for people. Most of the visitor attractions listed below have links to either their website, Google Maps or TripAdvisor. Some have them all. So you can individually check them out yourself before deciding to visit them. I’ve deliberately kept the list simple and clutter free with no pictures or recommendations, so that it is easy to use on your phone as a reference page to flick back and forth from. Hopefully it will make finding things to do a little easier than searching loads of websites. Another great website for inspiration and to find things to do, is the Carlow Tourism Website Here.  Anyhow, enjoy Carlow. It’s a fantastic county with loads to see and do. All the best. Cliff

Tourist Attractions and Places To See

As you can see from above, there are lots to see and do in county Carlow. Some of my favourite involve rambles in the Blackstairs Mountains/Mount Leinster, adventures on the river Barrow or exploring some of the fantastic historical sites throughout the county. However, if you are staying in the southeast and want to venture further afield, I’d recommend hopping across the border into county Kilkenny for a bit of exploration also. If so, here is a list that you might find useful:
