Named after St. Patrick, who is reputed to have baptised the King of Leinster in
Rathvilly, St. Patrick's Trail takes in the county’s two largest urban settlements of Carlow and Tullow. Both towns have a rich ecclesiastical tradition and were in the forefront of the nineteenth-century revival of Catholic places of worship and education.

The beautifully carved doorway at Killeshin and the crosses and holy well in the peaceful village of Clonmore are excellent examples of the county’s early Christian and medieval heritage while a stopover at the O’Meara tomb in Bennekerry churchyard will introduce the visitor to famous Carlow artist Frank O'Meara.
