Leighlinbridge is spanned here by a fine valerian stone bridge, reputedly one of the oldest functioning bridges in Europe with the Black Castle on its eastern side.
Leighlinbridge has been the recipient of many environmental awards in recent times including county winner in the National Tidy Towns Competition, first in the Barrow Awards, overall national winner in Ireland's Green Town 2000 and the village has been recently selected to represent Ireland in the prestigious European "Entente Florale" competition in 2001.
Two miles from Leighlinbridge, St. Lazerian's Cathedral, Old Leighlin was built in the 13th century on the site of a church founded in 632 A.D. This church was one of the foremost monastic houses in Leinster at the time with over 1,500 monks in residence.
Later they would have lived in the type of friaries, evidenced from their ruins, as made up of a centre chapel, to which the domestic buildings were attached, including a dormitory (which in the case of the Carmelites contained cubicles for the members), study, kitchen and meeting rooms.
The friars of Leighlinbridge like other Carmelites and other mendicants elsewhere served the local people on both sides of the river by preaching, teaching and instructing the faithful and especially by keeping alive their Order’s flavour of spirituality and devotion.
In the 1683 Benny edition of Petty’s General Map of Ireland, Leighlinbridge is clearly indicated as the Barrow crossing on the road from Dublin through Ballymore Eustace, Baltinglass, Carlow, Goran to Carrick-on-Suir, Dungarvan and Youghal, with a branch from Gowran to Kilkenny, Clonmel, Cappoquin and Cork.
