Another Offaly glamping site mooted

Another glamping option could be on the way for the picturesque Slieve Blooms in Offaly.

A company called Slieve Bloom Escapes Ltd, has indicated that it intends to apply for planning permission to develop a glamping/camping site at Pigeonstown, Cadamstown, which is located between the villages of Kinnitty and Cadamstown.

The development would consist of glamping pods, a camping area, a service building, an entrance and parking, according to a newly published planning notice.

A large townland, Pigeonstown borders the R421 road linking both Kinnitty and Cadamstown and comes close to parts of Kinnitty Forest.

The applicant Slieve Bloom Escapes Ltd has 14 days to submit the formal plans for the glamping/campsite to Offaly County Council following the publication of the planning notice.

Giltraps already operate a glamping facility in the heart of Kinnitty village.
