Our Laois branch invite to join them for a walk amongst the Wildlife in Emo Court. Emo Court is a quintessential neo-classical mansion, set in the midst of the ancient Slieve Bloom Mountains. The famous architect James Gandon, fresh from his work on the Custom House and the Four Courts in Dublin, set to work on Emo Court in 1790. However, the building that stands now was not completed until some 70 years later. For nature lovers the gardens are a great place to go wildlife spotting. The gardens are full of birds of varying species and as you are in the countryside you can hear their songs clearly. The lake is full of ducks and water birds, there is also a heron who has made his home there.
