About Tullow


Tullow, the main town in north County Carlow, is a golfer’s paradise and is a centre for anglers fishing the Slaney and other nearby rivers. 

The town is conveniently placed for exploring the beauty spots of south Wicklow, north Wexford, as well as those of Carlow itself. 

It is also situated mid-way between Dublin and Rosslare, on the N81 Bunclody Road.

In the market square stands a statue of Father John Murphy, the insurgent leader, who was captured near Tullow and executed in the Market Square on 2 July 1798. 

Altamont Gardens
Large, beautiful old world garden, Robinsonian in style with a strong emphasis on the informal tradition of combining a good plant collection within the natural landscape of its environment. Lawns and clipped yews slope down to a lake surrounded by rare trees and shrubs. A profusion of roses, old and modern, and herbaceous plants scent the air.
