B Walk – Mount Leinster to Kildavin, Carlow Autumn Walking Festival 2026
Kildavin, Co. Carlow
3 October 2026
Mount Leinster to Kildavin, offering breathtaking views across the south-east and, on a clear day, even as far as Wales. This route sets out from the Nine Stones, before dropping towards the cattle grid on the Mountain Road.

From here the trail loops around Tomduff, before climbing to the cairn on Slievebawn, long associated with ancient ritual and tradition.

The walk then leads through the Corrabut Gap, a dramatic cut through the Blackstairs that has served for centuries as a passage between valleys. Your next ascent is Kilbrannish Hill. On clear days, walkers are rewarded with striking panoramas of the Barrow Valley below and the rolling ridges of the Blackstairs.

The final section follows the South Leinster Way, winding down through forest tracks and open farmland to the village of Kildavin, where the walk concludes.

Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
