Welcome to Carlow

Carlow is situated in the south-east of Ireland, 84 km from Dublin and the River Barrow flows through the town, which forms the boundary between counties Laois and Carlow. Here the visitor is presented with a rich tapestry of history dating back a millennium and beyond, many associated famous names and an architectural heritage telling the story of the town's evolution since the Normans first came here in the twelfth century. With a population of over 23,000, Carlow is the county town and gateway to the South East standing at the confluence of the Barrow and Burrin rivers.
