This is a fantastic example of a front castle gable but because its in the middle of a busy town you will never find a time when cars or vans are not parked in front of it, so that ruins it regarding photography, but its well kept and in excellent condition, its such a pity it is not more isolated and the roads around it clear of traffic, especially as it such a major tourist attraction, cheers

Great relic of history! Well maintained, with informative visuals for visitors like us. A must go place in Carlow with Friends. Quick Tip: There’s a parking area in front of the castle. If in any case it’s full, there’s another parking just a few block from here. Enjoy!

Such a great spot! I’m sure many people pass by without realizing it, but it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. The OPW did a fantastic job with the landscaping using trees to outline the walls that are no longer there, really brings the history to life.

These are the ruins of Carlow Castle. Magnificent to look at. They've no foundation! There's an information plaque at the front if it and around the sides of it which are interesting. It's gated off so you only get to walk around the perimeter which takes about five to ten minutes with reading the info and photographs. It's basically what you see in photos. But worth a visit if you like...

I have never been to Carlow. Unfortunately, I believe that Carlow is the worst county in Ireland. If I actually visited here, I probably wouldn’t recommend it. Go to any other county instead, even Leitrim. This castle actually looks quite good, but alas it is located in Carlow....
