With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Waterford, 16 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Faithlegg Golf Club, Waterford Golf Club and Edmund Rice Heritage Centre. Don’t miss Thomastown either! Just 19 miles away, Mount Juliet Golf Course, Kells Priory and Jerpoint Abbey are non-negotiable stops here.
