Carlow is a tiny inland county south of County Kildare and south-west of County Wicklow. The River Slaney flows through its eastern part, which is an extension of the granite area of County Wicklow. West of this lies the fertile limestone land of Barrow Valley, and beyond to the north-west is pleasant upland country. The county has much to offer the sightseer, the sportsman and the climber.
The main town is Carlow, a bustling market town with an ancient history and tradition. Carlow was a Gaelic stronghold, long before it was a Viking and Norman settlement.
Nowadays, many castles and monastic ruins attest to rich history of this fertile hinterland. Fiach McHugh, a 12th century chieftain sacked Carlow in an ill-fated uprising, but is memorialized in Christy Moore's, Planxty's song about the event, from which it could be said the current Celtic music revival got its nascence! Famous for its.
Carlow has also produced many wonderful folk singers and musicians.

Carlow's not bad. My sister lives there. The only thing she doesn't like about the place are her in-laws. Hardly likely you'll meet them though.

Carlow is not the most interesting town in Ireland but has beautiful countryside and golf courses in particular nearby.
