With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Westport, 20 miles away, has to offer. Westport House, Croagh Patrick and Westport Golf Club alone justify the drive. Ballymote is another great option. It’s 25 miles away and home to a range of interesting things to do. Eagles Flying, Sligo Folk Park and Ballymote Castle are just the start.
