Barrow River
The River Barrow is considered one of Ireland’s most scenic and picturesque inland waterways. At 192 kilometres, it is the second longest river in Ireland, behind the River Shannon. Along with the River Nore and River Suir, the Barrow is one of The Three Sisters.
Passing through some of Ireland’s most scenic countryside, the Barrow is a tourist’s delight.
The Barrow rises in Co. Laois and flows through Kildare, Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford and Wexford. Fringed with reeds and river flora, and harbouring a wealth of wildlife on its banks, the River Barrow bears boats and barges along 68
The Barrow Valley is a spectacular area of natural beauty – lush green forests, gentle slopes, flat plains and the flowing river combine to create incredible views and a feast for the senses.
Visitors to the river are rewarded as the unspoilt beauty of the Barrow grows with each and every passing hour.
