Review:

The soft bogland of Mountmellick, County Laois near the River Owenass and Slieve Bloom Mountains. The area was industrialized in the 18th century by the Quakers, and many of the large homes, barns, and buildings are still standing today. One of the main attractions in Mountmellick is the Museum which showcases the history of the town, unique Irish embroidery that was developed in Mountmellick in the early 19th century and has been recently revived in modern clothing. There are a few restaurants in Mountmellick, including Amrita’s Restaurant & Pizza, Café Arioso, and Ena’s at The Mill. There is also a Bed & Breakfast and hostel for visitors that wish to extend their day trip overnight.
