Sculpture in the Parklands

There’s a beautiful new landscape hidden at the centre of Ireland - a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, which until now has been an unshared secret.

Through a creative combination of nature and the human hand new habitats are emerging on the cutaway bogs of Co. Offaly Lands cloaked with great raised bogs for 10,000 years are at the dawn of a new era. Bogs harvested by Bord na Móna for energy since the 1940’s are establishing as unique and welcoming habitats for a wide range of flora and fauna. Welcome, the Lough Boora Parklands await your arrival.

The expansive unencumbered landscape of the Lough boora Parklands is the pilot project for what will be 80,000 hectares of cutaway boglands spanning 11 counties and three provinces in the midlands of Ireland. 2,000 hectares of unique mosaic style habitats are embellished by a wide range of outdoor activities sensitively developed to enhance your enjoyment of the area.

Area’s of interest include: Finnamore Lakes, Turraun wetlands, Mesolithic site, Sculpture in the Parklands and Cloghan wetlands.
