The Municipal District of Borris-in-Ossory — Mountmellick

The Municipal District of Borris-in-Ossory—Mountmellick sits by the Slieve Bloom Mountains in Leinster, where County Laois’s wooded uplands meet the central Irish plain. Its area includes the market towns of Borris-in-Ossory, Mountrath and Mountmellick, connected by rural roads, farmland and access to the mountain range’s forests and walking country. Mountmellick has a notable Quaker heritage and gave its name to Mountmellick embroidery, a distinctive white-on-white needlework tradition developed in the 19th century. The district lies within Ireland’s Midlands, a region defined less by coast than by gently changing ground, small towns and working countryside.
