There are several charming towns and villages in the countryside around Woodbrook, particularly along the river Barrow. We are 20 minutes from the heritage village of Borris, where the Festival of Writing and Ideas takes place every June, as well a popular weekly farmer's market. Graiguenamanagh on the river Barrow is 25 minutes away and home to the 13th century Duiske Abbey. Further downstream, and 30 minutes from Woodbrook, is the historic village of St Mullins. Once home to a monastery founded by St Moling in the 7th century the area also boasts churches, a high cross, round tower and holy well. Both Graiguenamanagh and St. Mullins have popular riverside saunas that operate throughout the year.
