Tracing its way from Mount Leinster in Carlow to Bangor in County Down, across Ireland and eight countries of Europe to Bobbio in Northern Italy, the Colomban Way is inspired by St. Colombanus, a 6th century monk and pilgrim who was born in the shadow of Mount Leinster, near the village of Myshall. The Carlow and Wexford sections are now fully complete with interpretation panels and signage to guide the visitor on their journey of discovery. In Carlow, the route travels from St. Mullins along the Barrow Way and in County Wexford from the town of Bunclody to the official start of the walk at Mount Leinster.
