Lough Boora Parklands

Lough Boora Parklands are a beautiful landscape at the centre of Ireland - a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Through a creative combination of nature and the human hand new habitats are emerging on the cutaway bogs of Co. Offaly. Lands cloaked with great raised bogs for 10,000 years are at the dawn of a new era. Bogs harvested by Bord na Móna for energy since the 1940s are establishing as unique and welcoming habitats for a wide range of flora and fauna. The parklands consist of a magnificant collection of natural & manmade lakes, wetlands, woodland areas, 50km of walkways, natural recolonisation and pastureland whilst providing a new habitat for wildlife, flora & fauna.

Activities at Lough Boora Parklands include walking or hiking, cycling, coarse angling, game fishing, birdwatching, a sculpture park and mesolithic site.

See some of Ireland’s endangered wildlife species at the parklands. Butterflies, moths, plants, mammals and over 130 species of birds.
