Sightseeing
Delightful hill walk which commands extensive views of the surrounding midland counties.

Parks & Nature
The Grand Canal Trail offers great hiking and cycling that is gloriously traffic free a mile from our front door - Much of the landscape through which the route passes has been untouched by modern agriculture and remains a linear oasis for the flora and fauna that was originally common throughout our countryside.
