County Offaly trip planner

Though often overlooked, Offaly County offers plenty for nature lovers, with a few metropolitan options mixed in. In addition to fishing, water sports, bird watching, and other outdoor fun, this area showcases historical castles, a popular monastic city, and archeological finds. The region dates back to the Mesolithic Era and artifacts from as early as 6,800 BCE have been discovered here, including  Ireland's greatest collection of Bronze Age objects. Though Clonmacnoise is typically the most well-known destination for tourists in Offaly County, Birr boasts a castle and gardens.
