Emo Court

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!!!

Heywood Gardens

Reviewed By Martin1982_12 - Province of Leinster, Ireland

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

I was staying for 2 nights on a Relax and unwind package with my wife. She availed of the Spa treatments included with the deal and I booked a round of golf. I joined a couple who had already booked, and we entered a seniors competition on the day. This cost €30 with my GUI membership. A lot of players used golf buggies so we may have slowed their play down a bit as we didn't have a buggy ourselves. The course was well designed, in great condition and very enjoyable
