The little community of Borris-in-Ossory is located in the western portion of County Laois, just a short distance from the location where the rivers Laois, Tipperary, and Offaly converge. Borris-in-Ossory and its surrounds are home to Ballaghmore Castle and its ancient surroundings, and they provide a magnificent range of attractions. The mediaeval market town of Roscrea, which is close by, provides tourists with a wide variety of historical landmarks, natural beauty, and cultural attractions, including The Fancroft Mills and Gardens, Roscrea Castle, the High Cross, the Round Tower, and a top-notch golf club. This area, which is close to the Slieve Bloom Mountains, is a haven for hill walkers. Numerous rivers, including the Little Brosna, The Camcor, and The Bunow, are ideal for cycling and fishing.
