Emo Court

Reviewed By 368kristinek

Free walk and parking. Great amenity in Laois. Lots of space for roaming around and a picnic is ideal. We did not go to the cafe, so can't comment on that.

2. Abbey of Aghaboe

Abbey of Aghaboe

Reviewed By thelaoiscyclist

Hidden away in Laois this Abbey has connections to Salzburg in Austria, a one time Abbot leaving Aghaboe to take up residence there. In a field to the side are the remains of a Norman Motte and Baily. Behind the Abbey is Saint Canice's Church and if you look around the cemetery you will come across a general at rest Robert White, Knight of the Order of the Bath. A beautiful area to visit....
