WALKING/HIKING

To experience Carlow up close and personal and in your own way, go walking or hiking in the stunning Carlow countryside. Some specialist companies including Mountain 24 offer multilingual guided tours and climbing sessions, or if you are a competent walker who prefers to self-navigate and go off the beaten track, Carlow tourism have a great guide to refer to online a bespoke experience.

GOLFING

Many of our guests from overseas dream of playing Golf in Ireland. Some of our finest golfers including Rory McElroy, Shane Lowry are a testament to why our island is considered a mecca for golfers. With over 400 courses to play on this tiny island of ours, Carlow has some of the best golf destinations to show off. Our top three favourites include Carlow Golf Club, Borris Golf Club and the well known Mount Wolseley Resort.

ANGLING

As the world speeds up exponentially, we are forced to slow down and we can’t think of a better place to do so than on the banks of the Rivers Barrow & Slaney. Known as a coarse and game angling river, March – September is salmon and brown trout season. For more info on licenses and fees required visit www.slaneyfishing.com

CANOEING / KAYAK / BOAT TRIPS

A superb activity for all the family, boating in all its guises in Ireland has exploded in popularity so much so that there are several great places in Carlow to hop onboard to experience the beautiful rivers and mountains that Carlow is famous for. Beginners will enjoy a ‘Safari trail on the Barrow’ or a gentle cruise along the Barrow with local company Boattrips.ie. For the more experienced ‘Paddle your own Canoe’ is a company that rents boats and camping gear to get you set up and ready for your adventures. www.slaneyfishing.com

If any of these activities appeal to you, Avlon Bed and Breakfast is perfectly placed and located as a place to stay before, during or after you enjoy the best of the Carlow Great Outdoors.
