Redhills

Redhills is a peaceful and picturesque village, made famous as  the location for the films 'The Playboys' and 'The Run of the Country'. The local pubs display many photographs from these films.

Redhills is a largely undiscovered angling destination with several coarse fishing lakes and rivers. Clonandra Cottages sit on 25 acres on the banks of Lough Garra on the outskirts of Redhills and provides perfect self catering accommodation for anglers and tourists alike.

Shane Connaughton, the author of 'A Border Station' and writer of the acclaimed screenplay for 'My Left Foot', also has associations with the town.

The ruins of a castle dating from the 17th Century lie just outside the village on the Ballyhaise road.
