With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Mullingar, 17 miles away, has to offer. Mullingar Arts Centre, Mullingar Golf Club and Mullingar Equestrian Centre alone make the drive out worth it. Slane is another wonderful option. It’s 20 miles away and has an array of awesome things to see and do. Slane Castle, Newgrange and Knowth are only the start.
