A rural parish trail through south Carlow, from one of Ireland's earliest high crosses and the type-site of the Linkardstown Neolithic burial to Rath Melsigi, the 7th-century monastery that trained Willibrord for his mission to Frisia, and a church window remembering a Carlow man who died at the Little Bighorn.
