The Greek revivalist design of the 1830-built Carlow Courthouse is what makes this building stand out. It has a Russian cannon sitting at its front, which was supposedly captured in the Crimean War. Even though it has undergone several refurbishments over its lifetime, the courthouse is still a sight to behold, because it resembles a temple set on a plinth. Duckett’s Grove is a sprawling mansion that was built in the 1800s in Gothic Revival architecture, and it is currently open to the public. After settling on the car you want to hire in Carlow, you can take a ride to the Graiguecullen Bridge, a five-arched stone structure, which is one of the oldest on the River Barrow. It is situated just beside Carlow Castle, another must-see when in the area. An attempt to redesign the old castle that is on the banks of the River Barrow went badly and left it in ruins, but that in itself is a sight to see. The Mount Leinster Heritage Drive is another spot you can spend time on, as it takes you across 47 miles of road that is lined with quaint little villages and towns, such as Clonegal, Borris, Myshall and Bagenalstown. While on the drive, you can take in the breathtaking views of the Blackstairs Mountains.

You can choose to venture into nearby towns, such as Tinryland, Killeshin and Clogrennane. For a golf enthusiast, the town of Killerrig has one of the best golfing courses in the area. Your Carlow car rental can also take you beyond the region and into County Laois, which is doubly landlocked. This means that the county itself is landlocked, as are the counties bordering it. The Slieve Bloom Mountains, Castle Durrow and Roundwood House are a few of the places to see in this region.

Before the small section of motorway known as the M9 opened in 2008, the town of Carlow had a traffic jam problem on Barrack Street, coming in from Dublin-Waterford. The bypass has reduced the amount of traffic that residents and tourists have to deal with. Some parts of the town have a one-way system, such as the area around the courthouse, Browne Street, Castle Street, Church Street and Charlotte Street. When you know how the road links work, your navigation of the town will be much simpler, and that will allow you to make the most of your hired car. The more than 3,000 parking spaces in this rural town will ensure that you find a safe place for your vehicle.
