Outdoor Birr

Whether you’re a slow-paced rambler or a daredevil adrenaline fan, Birr has myriad options for living your best outdoor life. Nestled in miles and miles of rolling countryside, majestic mountains and meandering rivers, the County Arms is the perfect jumping off point for those who love the outdoor life. Take a cruise along the Shannon, climb Lough Boora, explore Clara bogs, hike, and cycle swathes of unspoilt trails. 

Play a few rounds of golf followed by a few pints in the clubhouse or enjoy the spills and thrills of horseracing close by. Explore ancient Irish forests and trek centuries old trails with equestrian activities a plenty in Offaly. All the fun of the fair, enjoy a great day out at some of Ireland’s oldest agricultural and equestrian shows. Adrenaline adventurers can fly, mountaineer and parachute, just a few miles from the County Arms.
