Visit the Barrow

Prolific Waters and an Outstanding Wild Environment

The River Barrow (Abhainn na Bearú or An Bhearú in Irish) rises in the Slieve Bloom Mountains in County Laois. The river winds its way through County Waterford for over 192 km, passing through the towns of Portarlington, Monasterevin, Carlow and New Ross.

The Barrow then joins an estuary where the Suir and Nore rivers also flow, before finally emptying into the Celtic Sea.

On the fishing front, the Barrow is teeming with high-quality fish, and the most patient anglers can land some impressive catches! In any case, you’ll find pike, gudgeon and tench, as well as salmon… The fishing spots on the banks of the Barrow are exceptionally tranquil, but nothing beats the charm of a small boat on the river itself…
