The Barrow Way connects with the Grand Canal Way at Robertstown.Шаблон:Sfn It also shares its route with that of the South Leinster Way between Borris and Graiguenamanagh.[1]

A review of the National Waymarked Trails in 2010 found usage by multiday walkers to be moderate and usage by day walkers to be high.Шаблон:Sfn The Barrow Way is often done by way of a series of out and back excursions rather than as one continuous walk.[2] The review recommended consideration be given to developing sections as a cycle route.Шаблон:Sfn The review also recommended that the Barrow Way be designated as a National Waterway Trail as it falls into the category of trails that follow the towpaths of inland waterways.Шаблон:Sfn
