OFFALY'S HIDDEN GEMS
The great thing about a visit to Offaly is that you’re always going to be surprised. Around every bend and down every country road. OFFALY'S HIDDEN GEMS
HIDDEN (and not so hidden) GEMS!!
Offaly Tourism Limited is a marketing group dedicated to promoting County Offaly as a major visitor destination. This Group has developed a new tourism brand, “Offaly – Ireland’s Hidden Gem” and a new website, visitoffaly.ie as part of its strategy to market and promote tourism in Offaly.

Developing the new tourism brand has allowed us to reflect on our key strengths and unique attributes and realise that Offaly has as much to offer as any other county in Ireland if not more. The great thing about a visit to Offaly is that you’re always going to be surprised. Around every bend and down every country road, you’ll come upon an unexpected view or a tucked-away gem of a place. It’s not that we’re trying to hide them, it’s just that we don’t want to seem like we’re showing off!

Take the world-class monastic gems like Clonmacnoise, prepare to be enthralled by our ancient and remarkably well-preserved past. Or visit Tullamore D.E.W. Visitor Centre where you can begin a journey of discovery, through almost two centuries of the distillery’s history. And when in Birr........ check out the epic Treehouse Adventure Area, situated in the picturesque surrounds of Birr Castle. The playground features Ireland’s largest treehouse and once you’re in, be prepare for a day of discovery at your own pace in Birr Castle, Gardens and Science Centre. Last but by no means least, there’s Offaly’s great outdoors – hidden in plain sight as they say, and delightfully crowd-free. From the Slieve Bloom Mountains to Lough Boora Discovery Park and from the sparkling waters of the River Shannon to the peaceful stillness of the Grand Canal - we’ve got so much to show you!
