Cloghan is a
small village in Co Offaly located 15km north of Birr.
Just outside the village of Cloughan is new 10 acre ‘put and take’
trout fishery lake. This new lake is part of extensive work to
ecologically restore the cutaway midland bogs into a pleasant
natural environment with amenities which will benefit local
communities and visitors. Five other angling lakes have been
developed at Boora Parklands since 1995
Cloghan was once one of Ireland's great centres of trade and ancient
Roman coins have been discovered throughout the village and the
surrounding countryside.
Cloghan is 18km from the ancient monastic site at Clonmacnoise, 15km
from Birr Castle and Demesne and just 8km from Banagher – a popular
cruising and fishing venue on the River Shannon. |
