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. This app with many tours of Carlow town and county was developed jointly by Carlow County Council and Carlow Tourism. We hope you like it.
