County Offaly tour packages explore Ireland’s quiet heartland, a county of bog, river and monastic ruins. Clonmacnoise is a major early Christian monastery on the banks of the Shannon, with high crosses and round towers, and Birr Castle has a superb demesne and a famous Victorian telescope. The Slieve Bloom Mountains offer forest trails, and the bogs of Offaly support rare wildlife and cycling routes. The county is largely overlooked by tourists, which means calm roads, welcoming small towns and low prices, about 1.5 hours from Dublin.
