Abbeyleix Bog Project

Abbeyleix Bog is situated on the southern periphery of Abbeyleix town in Co. Laois, Ireland and encompasses an area of almost 500 acres of diverse habitats including degraded (but recovering) raised bog, lagg, cutaway, wet carr woodland and meadows.

We welcome all to visit us, especially walkers, photography enthusiasts, nature and wildlife hobbyists and families who love the outdoors. Come and explore our paths and habitats. Walk on our new boardwalk and venture out into the bog, enjoy the lovely landscapes and hidden vistas within our bog. For more information on the conservation of the site please visit our website and watch our social media for information events and workshops.

Two walking loops:
