Everything Else
We like to drive to Ballyhack (about 1/2 hour) take our bikes across on the carferry (you can drive) and take the beautiful route to Dunmore East. When there we stiop in one of the pubs for lunch. Its a family friendly lively spot. More built up than Kilmore Quay with a different feeling. Very enjoyable for a day trip, when you want to earn you food.
