Carlow stands where the Barrow and Burren rivers meet. Tradition states that the junction of the 2 rivers once formed 4 lakes. The name 'Carlow' means Four Lakes.

The ancient town of Carlow is a bustling centre with great shopping, fine restaurants and first-class accommodation. Carlow has a well-earned reputation for lively festivals throughout the year. These include the internationally renowned Eigse Arts Festival, a 10-day extravaganza featuring visual arts, theatre, performance, comedy, dance, literary events and more.

The river remains an important focus for the town, with a long established rowing club and annual regatta. Other influences include an international student population, a thriving arts and crafts community, and a long and lively tradition of Irish language use and culture.
