Great place to go for a walk , not suitable for buggies , bicycles , it is a bit mucky as per one of my photos but manageable, it was cold and hailstones was pouring down however a very lovely walk , small suggestions to approve a bit more its one way system as its very hard to pass other walkers on it , overall recommended place right , on the hotel grounds !

During a recent trip to the area, we walked in Glenbarrow three times. We did the red trail (about 11km) once and the blue trail (about 5k) twice. Both walks were really enjoyable and very well maintained. There are wooden planks down for a large portion of the walk to walk on which is really nice. There are three trails (orange, red and blue) all different lengths. All three go past the waterfall. The orange and red trail goes through the bog and has some gorgeous views.

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.

Was so excited to visit this hilltop fort. Absolutely gorgeous views in every direction!! So many areas to explore and get different views of the beautiful surroundings! Park at church below, wonderful hidden gem, worth going out of the way to find!!!

I only live 30km from this gem and had been here about 30 years as a young boy. My word, they are just gorgeous! So well maintained, it’s only such a shame the house was demolished in the 50s. It’s a pity more isn’t made of the gardens from a marketing and tourism point of view. Like a nice coffee shop. Well worth a visit if visiting Kilkenny Laois area- this needs to be integrated into a proper itinerary as it would be a lovely day trip from Kilkenny city coupled with the Discovery park, Abbeyleix and the Slieve blooms- we are hopeless at marketing in this country, we should be shouting from the rooftops about gems like these
