Located about 2.5km from Lough Ree, Glasson is a beautiful village located in Goldsmith country, named after Oliver Goldsmith who spent many of his childhood years living in the nearby village of Lissoy. For a small village, Glasson hosts a wealth of activities, including some great pubs and restaurants, a championship golf course, and of course, beautiful countryside.

History

Originally an estate village, Glasson has developed into a village of great beauty and character. The writer Oliver Goldsmith lived in a house in nearby Lissoy until 1747, the ruins of which can still be seen.
