BARROW

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 441 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BARROW , a river of
south
 -eastern Ireland. It rises in the Slieve
Bloom
  mountains, and flows at first easterly and then almost due
south
 , until, on joining the Suir, it forms the estuary of the south
coast
  known as
Waterford
  Harbour. Including the 12 M. of the estuary, the length of its valley is rather more than Too m., without counting the lesser windings of the river. The
total
  area of drainage to
Waterford
  Harbour (including the basin of the Suir) is 3500 sq. m., and covers the whole of the county Kilkenny, with parts of Waterford,
Cork
  and Limerick,
Tipperary
 , Carlow, King's and Queen's counties. The
chief
  towns on the banks of the Barrow are Athy (where it becomes navigable and has a junction with the Grand Canal), Carlow, Bagenalstown and New Ross. The
chief
  affluent is the Nore, which it receives from the north-west a little above New Ross. The scenery on its banks is in parts very beautiful.
