Days out in Carlow is a list of recommended things to do in Carlow offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy some super experiences. Located in the South East of Ireland, Carlow is situated just over 80km from Dublin.

Stunning countryside greets visitors, set against the beautiful backdrop of the Blackstairs mountains that run along the borders of counties Carlow and Wexford.

Carlow town is in a picturesque setting on the bank of the River Barrow – the second longest river in Ireland at 192km and one of the most beautiful inland waterways in the country. The river forms the boundary with neighboring Co Laois and is a popular location for fishing where catches include Roach, Bream, Perch and Pike as well as Salmon and Trout.
