#Abbeyleix really is my ideal heritage town, from its swirly green street lamps to its modern amenities housed in beautiful old-fashioned buildings, hanging baskets and scenic public places for everyone to enjoy. There's also the #AbbeyleixBogWalk which you can access from the #AbbeyleixManorHotel grounds, and of course, you can grab a coffee from Polly's while there. It really is a testament to #LovelyLaois!
