Willowbrook Glamping and Hideaways

If you were blown away by how much there is to do on site, wait till you get a rundown of what's on in the local area… First things first: the Beara-Breifne Way is accessible within five minutes’ drive for tackling a long-distance walking and cycling trail, while the 15th-century Dominican settlement of Urlaur Abbey on the shores of Urlaur Lake is 20 minutes away if you'd rather a gentler stroll. Other historical sites hereabouts include the Rathcroghan complex and its hundreds of Iron Age archaeological sites within half an hour. Interested in more current culture? The Coleman Music Centre interactive exhibition on the history of the country’s traditional music is 20 minutes’ drive and the restored Georgian-era King House Historical and Cultural Centre – home of the snazzy Boyle Civic Art collection – is within 35 minutes. If you’re not sure the kids will be up for such high-class activities, the Graune Pet Farm And Play Centre is 25 minutes away; the Eagles Flying, Portinch interactive birds of prey show with eagles, hawks, falcons, vultures and owls is within 35 minutes; and the Lough Key Forest & Activity Park takes 45 minutes to get to.
