About Aghaboe

Aghaboe lies 10 kilometers southwest of Abbeyleix along the R430 in County Laois. Most visitors take the M7 from Dublin, about 90 minutes away, or approach from Cork via the M8. The village centers around the ruins of a 6th-century monastery founded by Saint Canice, who also lent his name to Kilkenny Cathedral.
