About Boyle Ireland and surrounding areaOne of the chief towns of County Roscommon, Boyle has a pleasant position at the base of the Curlew Hills and the north bank of the river Boyle, which connects Lough Gara and Lough Key. It is a good touring centre, with golf (9 hole), tennis, and river and lake fishing. Launch trips and boats for hire at Lough Key.
Nestling under the Curlew Mountains, Boyle is a town which is a blend of history and modern
day activity. Recently the subject of a complete restoration by Roscommon County Council, King House now plays host to an exhibition which details the story of the 'Kings of Connacht'. With various areas focusing on the turbulent history of the House and the elaborate pageantry of the Kings, on whose land the house was built, it is a three dimensional display which appeals to adults and children alike. At the end of the 18th century, the Kings moved to Rockingham (now Lough Key Forest Park) and the house eventually fell to the Connaught Rangers to use as a military barracks. On the way North, if you call to the village of Keadue, you will find the burial place of O'Carolan, the last great Irish bard and to the west of Boyle is Drumanone Dolmen dating to 3000 BC. | |||
