This pleasant route through counties Carlow and Wexford takes in many of the region’s best known ecclesiastical visitor attractions along the Barrow and Slaney rivers.

At Graiguenamanagh you can visit Duiske Abbey, an early Cistercian church in Ireland built around 1204. St. Mullins is a scenic and charming village on the River Barrow with an impressive ecclesiastical history. Entering Co. Wexford you’ll reach the towns of New Ross, featuring the Dunbrody famine ship docked along the quays and the ancient Norman settlement and cathedral town of Enniscorthy, on the River Slaney. The route returns north to Carlow town through the pretty towns of Bunclody and Tullow, home to the beautiful Altamont Gardens, the Nore Valley and Barrow River route.
