Activities in Laois

If you are interested in activities and adventure, Laois, in the Midlands of Ireland is the place to be!

The range of activities are as varied as the landscape - golf, horse riding, walking, bowling and much more are available in Laois.

Enjoy a visit to the Slieve Blooms, take a horse-drawn caravan along the quiet winding roads in Laois or maybe a barge trip along the Grand Canal.





Visit one of our AIRE approved riding stables or go paintballing in the Stradbally Woods - the choice is endless!

Laois boasts hushed pockets of excellent fishing brimming with tench, bream, roach and rudd that have never seen a fisherman’s hook. These quiet unspoilt waters are especially appealing to those who don't mind getting up a bit earlier, or fishing into the evening, to enjoy the best sport.
