Shannen wrote: “We re-opened Zipit Forest Adventures on the 29th June and we’re just trying to get the word out that our outdoor high ropes park is open for business again. We’ve made many changes to comply with Covid Regulations, the main one being reduced numbers. But we are keen to get all our staff back into full employment and to hit the ground running. – just one mention on your pages could give us the boost we need! Please let me know if you need any further information.”
Boyle Cistercian Abbey
Although Boyle Abbey is closed now while essential maintenance works are in progress, you are invited to take a ‘virtual tour’ with the following video and slideshow.
In 1161, the Cistercian monks established Boyle Abbey. The abbey, which was completed around 1220, was laid out according to the usual Cistercian plan. Today, only small parts of the cloister remain. The Elizabethans converted it into barracks in 1592 and the Cromwellians besieged it in 1645. Despite its ruined state, the abbey continues to be an excellent example of Ireland’s early Cistercian foundations.

Ardcarne Garden Cafe Cafe: The Cafe at our Boyle branch is undergoing a kitchen update and will be open very shortly, we hope by mid-July…”

• Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that occur naturally in cannabis plants. When cannabinoids come into contact with human systems and chemicals it triggers physiological actions. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the best-known compound due to its psychoactive qualities, while cannabidiol (CBD) appears to play the most significant role in the plant’s medicinal benefits.

King House Slideshow
Galleries and ‘other cultural outlets’ will reopen to the public from July 20th.
Meanwhile here is a King House mini slideshow to serve as a reminder of what will be available to visitors.
Situated in the centre of Boyle, King House has had a varied history over 300 years but is now fully restored. King House was built for Sir Henry King MP (c.1681–1739) between 1720 and 1740. It was subsequently home to Edward King MP (1726–97), first earl of Kingston.During its lifetime many different people have lived in the house and it has had many different roles: as a family home, a military barracks, an office, and even a store. The house retains a seventeenth-century fortified character that must have served it well when it was adopted by the Connaught Rangers and Roscommon Militia at the turn of the nineteenth century

Visit Lough Key Forest Park – now and later
Lough Key Forest Park is located in an area of great historical interest and is comprised of vast woodland and numerous islands. There is reference to Castle Island in the annals of Lough Ce as early as 1184. During this time the park was called Moylurg and the Kings of Moylurg were the McDermotts. The McDermott’s official residence was on The Rock, now called Castle Island. As space was limited on this small island they had another residence on the mainland where the Moylurg Tower stands today.

Foliage looking great in Boyle Town Centre … thanks to a dedicated team including Mandy, Donie and Teresa !!
Famine Altar, Boyle.
I visited our lovely Famine Altar. In the evening sun, a photograph was out of the question. The overgrown foliage around the site made it difficult to view the altar. Instead, here is a photo I took of the altar 5 years ago. I have a memory of the altar and steps being put in place but have forgotten its history. !!
