Port Laoise is the cultural capital of Laois, as it’s filled with boutiques, cafes, galleries and a few museums. Dunamaise Arts Centre is the place to head if you love all things TV and film, while the public Abbeyleix Library and Gallery showcases a range of sculptures, documents and photographs that will please art-lovers of all ages.

One of the highlights for nature-lovers has to be the Ballintubber Arts and Crafts Gardens that are set in 14 acres of manicured grounds. These are simply breathtaking to explore, particularly in the late afternoon when golden lighting illuminates the landscapes. If architecture is your thing, then Castle Durrow with its gardens and formal terraces is certainly a sight to behold.

Several tour companies offer private or group outings to keep you entertained. These include activities like canoeing, guided treks, fishing, cycling, horse riding and even art classes. Keen Golfers can tee-off at one of the many greens in the area. There is plenty to see and do in the great outdoors, so by simply driving around you’ll be sure to spot picnic areas, lakes, marshlands and lookout points that you won’t find listed on the tourism websites.
