Tour of 15th Century Franciscan Abbey, Stradbally, Co. Laois

The Abbey, which dates to 1450, was the Cosby family’s first base in Laois before they built Stradbally Hall. Later there was a cotton and flour mill on the site. It is now lovely family-friendly site bustling with nature. Guide Roland will cover the history of the Abbey, including the grisly Battle of Stradbally and mill race. Needless to say, he will also have some tall stories! ⁠In association with Historic Houses of Ireland.
Free tours: 2 pm and 4 pm on Sunday, August 25th.
