Walking:

Miles of towpaths along the River Barrow for those that like serious walking. Higher up, the lovely Mount Leinster Way offers a more challenging adventure. The waterway is much beloved of boating enthusiasts, while for the walker, nature-lover and those with an interest in industrial archaeology, the towns and surrounding countryside provide much to see and do and are themselves living repositories of history. Equestrian activities are also easy to come by in Carlow with AIRE centres to be enjoyed in both Carlow, Bagenalstown and Rathvilly.
