Baring up Carlow's Charm > View Carlow articles
Who would have thought that Co. Carlow, one of Ireland’s smallest counties, would be holding a number of drives for people to come over? Travel apprehensions maybe a heavy load of burden for some but for those who have made up their minds to visit Carlow, it is the other way around. Knowing you will be traveling to a place of impressive backdrops and remarkable spots, your primary concern now would not be the travel but how to handle too much excitement.

First thing that will arouse your interest in this county is the Browne’s Hill Dolmen. This astounding granite formation of almost 5000 years of age has continued to receive jaw-dropping responses from its viewers. If the fact about its weight will spice up your inquisitiveness, I have to mention it weighs an amazing 100 tonnes.

While you are in Co. Carlow, never miss the Clonmore Heritage Tour. This will give you the chance to come in close contact with the historical monastic settlement sites in the county. It would be probably right to say that this tour is more of an expedition back to the earliest times – as early as the 6th century. Would you let this chance to meet the past while you cherish the present just pass your way? You will surely regret if you say yes.

A walk through the paths of Altamont gardens will be the most nature-revealing scene you could ever imagine of. The exquisite beauty of nature unfolding right before your very eyes is an event you would never probably want to miss.

In Co. Carlow, you can take a few healthy walks along the South Leinster Way. Following the trails would open the path for your own discovery of the finest summits in this county. All seems to stand in solitude as you glide your every step on the trails. The relaxing atmosphere and the soothing ambience of the setting jazz up the moment.

Co. Carlow is not merely for nature appreciation or for history flashback, it is moreover one of the best few places to busy yourself with the majestic flapping of birds’ wings as they soar up in the sky and as they nestled on the ground, thereby giving everyone a closer look of their beauty. The Barrow Track in Co. Carlow has always been a famed spot of botanists, ecologists and ornithologists – not to mention the regular nature buffs.

These are just some of the suggested things to do in Co. Carlow. In the end, you still have to make your own discovery.
