Graiguenamanagh - Along The River Barrow
Graiguenamanagh (Irish: Gráig na Manach, meaning village of the monks) is a town in County Kilkenny, Ireland. It is located on the R705 regional road by the border with County Carlow on the River Barrow at the foot of Brandon Hill. It is home to Duiske Abbey, the largest and perhaps the finest of the thirty-four medieval Cistercian abbeys in Ireland.
The River Barrow, historically a significant highway, was developed as a commercial navigation route in the mid seventeen hundreds and Graiguenamanagh served as the main base for commercial barges operating on the river until barge traffic ceased in 1959. The barges that at one time lined the quaysides are now replaced by some one hundred pleasure craft.
Near to the town are the ruined remains of the early Christian church of Ullard, founded by Saint Fiachra in the seventh century. St Fiachra subsequently moved to France, where he is known as St Fiacre, and founded the celebrated monastery at Meaux. He is the patron saint of gardeners and taxi drivers; French cabs are often known as fiacres in his honour. Some few miles downstream from Graiguenamanagh the ruins of the ancient monastic establishment at St. Mullins are situated in an area of great beauty and historic interest.

Cycling the Barrow Way Ireland
Dan, Sinead, Grace and Duncan head off early on a sunny Saturday morning in late May 2008 to attempt the Barrow Way from Kildare to Kilkenny on bikes.

Barrow Way
All is quiet at present about the proposed Greenway along the River Barrow as An Bórd Pleanála consider the appeal of Waterways Ireland.
Today I met a very large group of walkers from Dublin and Meath enjoying a stroll along this national way marked walking trail. It is one of the longest off road walking trails in the country and is prized by walkers for the wonderfully forgiving surface.
A few seconds into this video will demonstrate one very practical reason why the Barrow Way is not suitable for a cycle track.
It cannot accommodate large numbers of cyclists and walkers at the same time..
