Geocache Description:

A little cache hidden on a beautiful lake walk on the Emo Court Estate.


Emo Court, located near the village of Emo in County Laois, is a large neo-classical mansion, formal and symmetrical in its design. Architectural features of the building include sash-style windows, pavilions, a balustrade, a hipped roof, and large dome. It was designed by the architect James Gandon in 1790 for John Dawson, the first Earl of Portarlington. Gandon was so busy with his work in Dublin that he found little time to work on Emo Court. This may be one of the reasons that it took so many years for Emo Court to be made habitable, let alone finished. The house and gardens were taken into ownership by the Irish state in the 1990s, and now managed by the Office of Public Works. The estate is open to visitors and the grounds are very popular for recreational activities.
