Vicarstown —County Laois
An attractive port on the Grand Canal, a useful base for walking, cycling, boating and fishing. Buildings of interest include the 1860s Grattan School and Grattan Lodge (built in 1882 by Henry Grattan's grand-daughter Lady Pauline Grattan Bellew). Vicarstown is a good base to visit the picturesque village of Stradbally and Fisherstown where one of the oldest pubs in Ireland lies.
