Castles galore pepper the countryside. The better known ones include Birr, Charleville and Kinnitty and attract thousands of visitors. Standing on a rock, Leap Castle in the South of the County is said to be Ireland's most haunted house.
Did you know?
Kinnity, lying in the shadow of the Slieve Bloom Mountains, has a pyramid which is a replica of Cheops in Egypt. It is the only tomb of its kind in Ireland! No need to travel as far as Egypt to see the great Pyramids....it's only around the corner
