YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in County Carlow
Carlow town
Carlow provides a practical centre with museums, cultural venues and riverside space. Select a particular attraction and leave time for the town’s shops rather than using it solely as a provisions stop.
Borris and the Barrow Valley
Borris offers a village setting with countryside and river routes nearby. Choose an established walk and check its access and surfaces before making it a longer outing.
Gardens and heritage
Altamont Gardens and other visitor sites give options for a slower outdoor day. Check current opening arrangements and the route from your park rather than assuming all gardens operate year-round in the same way.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Carlow town is useful for substantial shopping, while Borris and Tullow provide smaller local centres. Look for independent food and craft businesses during planned town stops.
Planning your holiday in County Carlow
River paths and countryside roads can vary in condition and access. Check a named route, allow realistic driving time and confirm any private estate or garden visit before travelling.

Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
