Borris Golf Club
Established in 1907, Borris Golf Club is one of the oldest clubs in Ireland and this is reflected by its mature parkland course. The breath-taking scenery of the surrounding countryside combined with the strategic design of the course. http://borrisgolfclub.ie/
St Lazarian's Cathedral
The Present St. Laserians Cathedral is a 13th century building of great charm. It replaced a 7th century monastery which once accommodated 1,500 monks. This site was the location for a church synod in 630 AD. This historic gathering decided on formula which was to determine the dates of Easter each year for all of the western Church and which remains in use to this day. Nearby is the very ancient 7th century Cross of Saint Laserian and his holy well, which continues to be venerated and attracts votive offerings some 14th centuries after his death.
