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.

The County Carlow Military Museum (CCMM) will hold its Military Show on Sunday May 24th from 10am to 4pm.
Hosted at the museum grounds, in and around the museum which is located in the Old Church on the Athy Road (across from Caredoc) this one day event will feature a range of military vehicles from WW2 up to present times, militaria displays, weapons displays, personal collections as well as scale modelers to name a few.
There will be a host of living historians/enthusiasts present in period dress and equipment. Past shows have featured enthusiasts exhibiting artifacts, displays and costumes from the Battle of the Boyne, 1798 rebellion, American civil war, Boar war, WW1, WW2 and almost anything and everything in between.
There will be refreshments available on the day also and a small admission charge to enter the show area/museum but we do recommend you come early as it tends to get busy.
