About Errill
Errill is a small rural village in west County Laois, close to the Tipperary and Kilkenny borders and within reach of Rathdowney, Roscrea, Templemore and Ballybrophy. It has a quiet, close-knit countryside character, with housing and farms set around the village and surrounding townlands rather than an urban streetscape. Day-to-day life is car-dependent, although the larger nearby towns provide most regular shopping, services and secondary education. Errill National School serves local families, while schools in Rathdowney, Roscrea and Templemore broaden the choice of primary and post-primary education. Local social life centres on community activities, sport and nearby pubs, with further cafés, restaurants and retail available in Rathdowney and Roscrea. The village is well placed for road journeys towards Dublin, Limerick, Kilkenny and the Midlands, while Ballybrophy railway station offers a useful regional rail connection. Outdoor life is a major attraction, with the Slieve Bloom area, local walking routes and the wider rural landscape close by. Errill also has strong links with local GAA and community organisations, giving the area a traditional and active village identity.
