With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Glendalough, 17 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Wicklow Mountains National Park, Lough Tay and Clara Lara Funpark. Ballon is another wonderful option. It’s 19 miles away and boasts a variety of fascinating things to do. Mount Wolseley Golf Club, St. Brigid’s Roman Catholic Church and Bunclody Golf Club are only the start.
