○ Camping/Accommodation ○
● We’ve always found camping along the waterways to be enjoyable. Waterways Ireland do not have an official camping policy, and ask for anyone camping to “seek permission from the landowner, cause no obstruction and follow the Leave No Trace principles.” More info: [ Ссылка ]
● Brandon Hill Camping is a campsite and glamping site In Graiguenamanagh.
● The towns along this trail are also pretty perfectly spaced for those who want to book accommodation along the way. Such towns include: Monasterevin, Athy, Carlow, Leighlinbridge, Muine Bheag/Bagenalstown, Graiguenamanagh, and St Mullin's. (Borris town short walk off trail)
