Belmont is a small village in rural south Offaly, sitting on the edge of bogland near Birr. It is a working village, not a tourist destination — the few houses and farms around it are genuine places people live and work.
The landscape is flat bog and fields. Birr, with its castle and town centre, lies a short drive north. There is little here to "do" in the tourist sense, but that is partly the point — it is the kind of place where you understand what rural Ireland looks like when no one is performing it.
