About Clonaslee
Clonaslee is a small village in north County Laois, set in the foothills of the Slieve Bloom Mountains and surrounded by attractive wooded and upland countryside. It has a quiet, rural character, with a compact village centre and a strong sense of community, while larger everyday services are available in nearby Mountrath, Mountmellick and Portlaoise. Families are served locally by Clonaslee National School, with secondary-school choices and broader education facilities generally found in surrounding towns. Road travel is the main commuting option: the village is connected by regional roads towards Mountrath, Kinnitty, Mountmellick and Portlaoise, while rail services are available from nearby Ballybrophy and Portlaoise. Local life centres on village shops, cafés and pubs, community facilities and access to the Slieve Bloom’s walking routes, forests and outdoor attractions. The area is particularly appealing to people seeking space, scenery and a close-knit village environment rather than an urban amenity base. Nearby landmarks and leisure destinations include the Slieve Bloom Way, Brittas Forest and the wider mountain area around Kinnitty and Rosenallis.
