Local Activities

Dooly’s sits at the centre of something special. Mid-Ireland is full of stories, scenery and space to breathe — from rivers and mountains to castles and winding country roads. Whether you’re chasing adventure or just want a decent walk and a better pint after, you’re in the right place.

Birr is a town that wears its history well. Laid out during the Georgian era, it still holds onto its elegant character — with wide, tree-lined walls, quiet gardens, and grand old houses that give the place a real sense of charm. It’s the kind of town where you feel time slow down a bit. At Dooly’s, we’re proud to be part of that rhythm — rooted in the past, but looking ahead with a steady eye and a warm welcome.
