About Lough Boora Discovery Park

Name: Lough Boora Bike Rental
Address: Bord na Mona Lough Boora Discovery Park, Boora, Co. Offaly
Telephone: 085-2629078

Spanning over rolling acres of raised Midlands bogland, Lough Boora is a park rich in cultural history, mythological significance, and natural beauty. In the past, the boglands that we now know as Lough Boora acted as a vitally important ancient Mesolithic settlement, offering food, shelter, and fuel to the local people of the time. In more recent times, the park was used to harvest peat, with over 1 million tonnes of peat harvested every year throughout the twentieth century, helping fuel homes and businesses throughout the locality.

Nowadays, Lough Boora’s natural beauty has been preserved by the efforts of Bord Na Mona and a number of Irish preservation groups, who have transformed this culturally and historically significant space into a beautiful wildlife reserve and amenity-filled refuge for visitors, also known as Bord na Mona’s Lough Boora Discovery Park.
From nature walks and cycles to family-friendly fairy trails, historical tours, and a plethora of cafes and restaurants, Lough Boora is now a place of refuge, relaxation, and intrigue for guests who visit from far and wide.
