3About The Swan
The Swan is a small County Laois settlement reached via the R430, just 8 kilometres northwest of Carlow where most folk head for services. It's about an hour twenty from Dublin on the M9, exiting at Junction 4 for Carlow then following local roads. The place sits amid typical midlands farmland with gentle rolling hills. Electric vehicle drivers will find around 40 fast chargers in the area, mainly in Carlow and along the M9. The settlement gets its name from The Swan Inn, the local pub that's been the community's heart for generations and still serves as the main landmark for finding your way about.
