Boyle often claims to be the Cinderella of Co. Roscommon - often
overlooked. The town and area have not been forgotten however, and
if the publicity for the area is anything to go by then there are a
lot of people working hard to make it the "beautiful princess". Boyle is situated in the north of the county, nestling under the Curlew Mountains and within easy reach of beautiful Lough Cé (or Lough Key). It has a rich history, which we hope to bring you in time. Meanwhile, if you are in the area, please stay a while. Most of the material illustrated on this page is available from Boyle Tourist office or from Úna Bhán shop, both located in the grounds of King House.

Cyril Mattimoe's history of North Roscommon is now out of print and quite scarce. It is one of the definitive works about the area.
Other books to watch out for are: "The Annals of Lough Cé" by William Hennessy 1871. "The History of Ireland from The Annals of Boyle" by John D'Alton 1845 (2 volumes) "Loch Cé And Its Annals" by Very Rev. Francis Burke 1895 All of these originals are now quite rare. The Annals of Lough Cé was reprinted recently by deBurca Rare Books in Dublin. |
