A Tidy Towns village on the Wicklow-Carlow border, built around a Gothic-fantasy castle and a granite parish church — and, a few kilometres out the road, the mother house that sent Irish missionary priests to Africa, Brazil and the Caribbean for ninety years. Walk the village core past the school, the barracks and the bridge, then detour east to High Park, headquarters of the Kiltegan Fathers. Looking for things to do in Kiltegan? Start here — no car, no ticket, no booking.
