The Columban Way walk in County Carlow gives visitors the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the inspirational sixth century monk St Columbanus, who was born at the foot of Mount Leinster. The Carlow walk joins the finished route at Bangor, County Down as part of a wider national and European Columban Way. A journey of discovery, the walk offers visitors the opportunity to connect with nature, appreciate our rich biodiversity and enjoy their own personal journey of reflection and contemplation along the stunning landscapes of the River Barrow and the Blackstairs Mountains. It is a spiritual and pilgrim trail that connects towns and villages in County Carlow who have a deep appreciation of the lasting legacy of St Columbanus in this area, bringing together communities of different faiths and cultural traditions. Modelled on the Camino de Santiago, it features historical sites and landscapes of early Christian Ireland.
