About Shanahoe

Shanahoe is a small village in County Laois along the R426 between Abbeyleix and Ballinakill. It's about 100 kilometers from Dublin via the M7 motorway, taking roughly an hour and fifteen minutes, while Cork drivers can reach it via the M8 and M7 through Portlaoise. The village sits in typical midlands countryside and serves as a handy stopping point for cross-country journeys. Its main attraction is a well-preserved 12th-century round tower standing 18 meters tall beside ancient monastery ruins founded by Saint Cronan.
