Kildavin is a small
picturesque village in county Carlow, near the river Slaney and not
far from the Wexford border. It is located on the main Carlow -
Wexford road 5km north of Bunclody and 17km from Carlow Town. The
meaning of Kildavin is thought to refer to an early church (Cill) or
an ancient wood (Coill).
Kildavin is situated close to the Blackstairs mountains. The South
Leinster Way long distance walking trail starts in the village at
the Church of Ireland church. Stage 1 leads the walker from Kildavin
to Borris, covering a distance of 20 km. The surrounding landscape
of this area is quite marvellous. If you happen to visit Kelly’s
Quarter along this route and the day is clear, you will be rewarded
with exhilarating views of the Irish Sea. |
