Laois Heritage Trail
Laois, one of the Ireland’s most interesting counties, is also one of its least discovered. To help visitors and long-time residents explore Laois, the Heritage Trail offers information on the sites that make up the Heritage Trail.
If you are interested in castles, the Rock of Dunamase is the place to begin. Wildlife lovers and sportsmen should visit the Fly Fishing Museum. Architecture buffs might want to start at Emo Court, while those who love fine handwork should head straight for the museum in Mountmellick.
This Heritage Trail is only the beginning. More than 1,000 monuments and places of historical interest have been identified in Laois. All through the county, the people at the sites, museums and tourist offices are there to help you pursue your interests. So set off down one of the county’s winding roads. The more you explore Laois, the more you will find.
