Offaly, firmly located in the heart of Ireland, welcomes visitors to great stretches of wilderness, bogland, a vast mountain park, esker hills, and deep wooded valleys with streams and rivers. The gorgeous Shannon River runs across its western border, while the Slieve Bloom Mountains, a national nature reserve, rise up to the east.
The wonderful thing about visiting Offaly is that you will constantly be surprised. You’ll come upon an unexpected view or a tucked-away treasure of a spot around every corner and along every country road. It’s not that they’re attempting to conceal them; it’s just that they don’t want to appear arrogant. The best things in life are always kept hidden; come see for yourself.
