Vicarstown is a small Village nearby the Barrow Blueway line and offers many other walks and trails.
Located adjacent to the track – which is a safe walking/running/cycling route along the banks of the Grand Canal – the play area consists of a tunnel, various balance beams and a slide.

Come to Athy to visit the Shackleton Museum in Athy. Learn about the history of Athy & other exhibits. View the only permanent exhibition to the Antarctic Explorer Ernest Shackleton.

Take a trip down the Barrow Blueway with Athy Boat Tours and see the beautiful whites Castle in the town. Finish off in the Auld Shebeen for some traditional Music, a bite to eat and a cheeky pint!

Why not take a spin to the Blueway Art Studio, where you can get creative with the family and also learn about sustainability. The Blueway Art Studio is a 15 minute drive from Athy.
