If you’re looking for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of tips. Sitting 17 miles away, Boyle is worth getting in the car for. Lough Key Forest Park should be at the top of your list here. Boyle Abbey and King House are interesting attractions too. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Roscommon, 19 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Roscommon Castle. (But we’re also huge fans of Dr. Hyde Park and Roscommon Golf Club.)
