About this site

Carlowcastle.com is a small, independent visitor guide to Carlow Castle and the town around it.

Who runs it

The site is run by a Carlow resident as a personal project. It is not connected to Carlow County Council, the Office of Public Works, Heritage Ireland, Fáilte Ireland or any other official organisation, and it does not speak for them.

What it is for

Many people searching for Carlow Castle want the same few things: a short history, whether it is free, where to park and what else is nearby. This site gathers those answers in one place and keeps them simple.

How we keep it accurate

The history draws on published archaeological and historical sources. Visiting details come from public listings and can change, so each page tells you to check current information before you travel. Where sources disagree, we say so rather than guess.

Advertising
