The countryside all around is unspoiled and undulating, with many castle ruins, peat bogs, woodland and freshwater lakes dotting the landscape. The town is an ideal base for walking, cycling, horse riding and other activities in the area. Its location on the eastern part of Lough Derg and situated on the main road between Nenagh and Birr make it and ideal spot to explore on yoru juney around Lough Derg
