With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Tullamore, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Tullamore Dew Heritage Centre, Durrow Abbey and Charleville Castle. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Carlow, 20 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Fairgreen Shopping Centre. (But we’re also huge fans of Carlow Golf Club and Carlow Town Park.)
