Rathoe, located in the northern part of the parish, is a charming village nestled between Tullow and Ballon. A small friendly village made famous by Bard Val Vousden, a renowned actor and entertainer who penned the song “The Roads Around Rathoe.” The village is home to St. Patrick’s Church, an outstanding example of 19th-century craftsmanship, featuring a stunning stained glass window created by Early’s studio in Dublin and an ancient, octagonal baptismal font.
