The judges said Durrow looks beautiful any time of year. On a sunny day in August it looks spectacular.

Durrow also had two impressive large green areas in the centre of the town that are put to great use for festivals including the acclaimed Scarecrow Festival.
The square is framed by beautiful Georgian buildings which add a great sense of grandeur to the square.
