The quiet tranquil waters of County Roscommon in the  West of Ireland exude a serenity that will appeal to those after a peaceful holiday.

Surrounded by unspoiled nature with beautiful mountains, moors and lakes, this gentle county is ideal for laid-back breaks, and the spectacular Lough Key Forest Park is one of Ireland’s top lakeside attractions with more that 350 hectares of beautiful scenery.

Roscommon’s historical attractions are dotted throughout the county, too, with the wonderful Boyle Abbey and Strokestown Park House. Discover a different side to the West.
