Abbeyleix Bog Walk, Co. Laois

The Collins Bog and Killamuck Bog Loops are two waymarked looped walks centered on Abbeyleix Bog at the southern end of the Heritage Town of Abbeyleix.

These beautiful loops take walkers through woodland and forestry paths before diverting into Abbeyleix Bog.

At 4.5 km, the Collin's Bog is the shorter of the 2 looped walk options.  Continue on the Killamuck Bog Loop and complete the full 8K.

Trailhead: The carpark of Abbeyleix Manor Hotel, which is located just south of the town on the N77, see abbeyleixbog.ie
Suitability: Unstrenuous walk following a well-marked path. Wet in places so sturdy footwear is required.
Distance: 8km
Time: Two hours
