Mount Brandon self-catering holiday cottages are located on the Carlow side of Graiguenamanagh town, only 5 minutes’ walk from the beautiful river Barrow and a short distance from Brandon Hill (South Leinster Way). They offer your ideal base for hill walking, mountain biking, canoeing and kayaking as well as other river-based activities such as swimming or indeed pike and coarse fishing.
Their on-site pottery studio and school is up and running – tremendous fun and a great way of spending a few hours learning a new skill!

Some places are best discovered on foot, and Carlow is one of them. Carlow Tourism is inviting walkers from across Ireland to lace up their boots and experience some of the county’s spectacular scenery as the Carlow Autumn Walking Festival returns from Friday, October 2nd to Sunday, October 4th 2026. Taking place throughout the beautiful countryside of County Carlow, the festival is a great way to explore the Blackstairs Mountains and some of the county’s most treasured walking routes in the company of experienced local guides and fellow walkers, while enjoying the warm friendship, shared experiences and welcoming atmosphere that characterise this festival.
