Autumn in Carlow brings walkers, ramblers and nature lovers from all corners of the country and beyond for one big reason—the eagerly awaited Carlow Autumn Walking Festival, running from Friday, October 3 to Sunday, October 5, 2025! With a stunning array of 15–20 walks across the Blackstairs Mountains, River Barrow, Altamont Gardens, South Leinster Way, Kilbrannish Forest, and more, this is walking paradise—whether you’re looking to go head to heat with Mount Leinster or preferring a gentle 1.5‑hour stroll
Each year, we welcome repeat guests who return just to join their fellow walkers at the festival—and they come back to us, too! Comfortable and affordable rooms, legendary Irish breakfasts, and easy access to Carlow Town make us the perfect place to stay. Located only a 7-minute walk from the town centre, we’re ideally positioned for walkers wanting early starts and a good nights sleep to soothe the body and soul.
Plus, we’re Fáilte Ireland approved with four-star comfort and top hospitality awards—so you can look forward to genuine warmth after a day on the trails .
Worried about weather? Don’t be! In Carlow, inclement skies often bring those softly misty days—perfect for walking, with atmosphere and fewer crowds. Our experience shows that guests love it so much they return every year, weather notwithstanding! At Avlon House B&B, we’ll warmly welcome you through our doors no matter what the sky’s doing.
Rooms are filling fast—action required! If you’re eager to participate in Carlow’s favourite walking event, book now and secure your stay at Avlon House B&B.
