Lough Key Forest park, Boyle has a large collection of tunnels to the lake side, other areas in the park etc from the former basement of the old house.

I remember a booklet published by somebody like the Department of the Environment in the early 1980s about insertion of modern houses into the landscape

I cannot remember the title of the booklet or the author.
