Birr Attractions |
| |
If you just want to escape from it all to peace and tranquility the picturesque village of Kinnitty is the ideal base for exploring the midlands of Ireland - the real Ireland . Located at the crossroads of Ireland half way between Belfast and Cork, Galway and Dublin, Sliego and Wexford.
From Ardmore House you can see the magical Slieve Bloom Mountains, steeped in history and folklore (according to legend was home to Fionn Mac Cumhaill where as a child he lived with his mother for the first 7 years of his life) from megalithic times though Ireland's golden era of Saints & Scholars to more modern history of settlement and conflict of the Ely O'Carroll (Eile meaning area).
Here you will meet the real Irish, experience the culture, folklore and music performed for themselves, and not as some 'stage show' aimed at tourists .
There is an abundance of activities to suit everyone, from walking the gentle rolling hills of the Slieve Bloom Mountains (3/4 day guided walking breaks available) cycling, trekking, horse riding, golf (within easy reach of many fine golf courses), spa treatment, to visiting the heritage sites of Clonmacnoise, Birr Castle Gardens and Telescope, Leap Castle Ireland's most haunted, West Offaly Railway, Lough Boora Nature Reserve, Shannon Callows. In the evening relax in a cozy pub and dine in a variety of fine restaurants.
Other attractions within an hours drive are Tullamore Dew Heritage Centre, Athlone Castle, and The Rock of Cashel, Kilkenny city. If you are exploring the rugged west coast of Ireland, why not stop a night or two to experience the contrast. Kinnitty is far removed from the commercialism of busy resorts like Killarney, Dingle, Galway or indeed Dublin, still retaining a charm and pace more reminiscent of Ireland of the past than that of today. |
