With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Ballina, 20 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Ballina Golf Club, Ballina Presbyterian Church and St. Muredach’s Cathedral. Situated 25 miles away, Ballymote is another popular tourist destination. If you visit, be sure to check out Eagles Flying, Sligo Folk Park and Ballymote Castle.
