Carlow County Council works with Carlow Tourism in the development of a variety of cultural trails which include:
The Columban Way:
The Columban Way walk in County Carlow gives visitors the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the inspirational sixth century monk St Columbanus, who was born at the foot of Mount Leinster. The Carlow walk joins the finished route at Bangor, County Down as part of a wider national and European Columban Way.

South Carlow Adventure Trail:
Its wide open spaces, mountains and valleys are ideal for the outdoors, whether for a leisurely activity or a real adventure. Walk a towpath or a mountain trail, hire a river barge or canoe and kayak along the rapids of the River Barrow, freewheel on quiet roads or navigate the winding trails of the Blackstairs Mountains on a mountain bike. Whatever your chosen sport, the South Carlow landscape and its people make it that bit more enjoyable.
