  Carlow Visitors Guide
Although County Carlow offers much to guests in the way of historical interest sites, modern Carlow Town is an expanding, vibrant market town located a little more than an hour’s drive from the bustle of London.
County Carlow, and particularly Carlow Town, sits within an area historically referred to as the English Pale, a perimeter set up by the British around Dublin to protect the city from the onslaughts of attackers from the countryside.
Carlow was therefore witness to many a battle and skirmish from the Elizabethan period forward.

 Memorials of 1798 in County Carlow
Now strange to say, Carlow was actually more prepared for the rising than Wexford was, but what has often been the curse of plans for Irish freedom, the 'thirty pieces of silver' or their equivalent, saw Irish hopes dashed and Irish blood spilled.
Carlow were actually in their field before Wexford and had plans for the capture of Carlow town made and endeavoured to put them into action before the first stroke was struck in Wexford.
I wonder how many Carlow people could tell a stranger where they are, even those in his own town, village or sacred spot let alone tell what is the inscription on them or incidents connected with them.
