When you are exploring Clonegal in all its splendour, the Weavers Cottage will make an interesting addition to your itinerary!
It is understood from historical sources that some of the finest examples of linen woven in Ireland in the 17th Century were woven in County Carlow.
The Durdin or The Weavers Cottages were built by Alexander Durdin in the late 17th century and were lived in by weavers when the trade was at its height.
The Weavers Cottages now feature many items, artefacts, furniture and pictures from bygone times. A group of spinners and weavers meet in the cottages regularly, lending further authenticity to these beautifully preserved cottages.
A little piece of history to discover as you wind your way around Mount Leinster Heritage Drive.
Open all year round Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm. Saturday and Sunday, 12pm-4pm.
Free admission, voluntary contributions welcome.

Set within several hundred acres of rolling parkland and woodland in Co Carlow, Lisnavagh’s Healthy Harvest Day Retreat allows you to be present with bountiful produce and expert tuition and knowledge from Andrew and Holly.
Begin the day with a seasonal talk led by Lisnavagh’s own growing expert, Andrew Jordan, who will share practical insights on working with nature, planting for the months ahead, crop management and reconnecting with the rhythms of the land.
From the garden to the table, guests will then move indoors for a vibrant plant powered recipes demonstration with wellness advocate and influencer Holly White, exploring how fresh, plant-powered ingredients can support energy and balance for the winter ahead.
The experience concludes with a delicious, seasonal plant-based lunch prepared by the Lisnavagh kitchen — wholesome, colourful and deeply satisfying — enjoyed in the relaxed surroundings of the estate and leave with a small goody bag filled with delicious foods from the Estate.
