Getting to Ashbourne

Owing to its proximity to Dublin Airport, Ashbourne is easy to reach. The number 109A bus should get you there within 45 minutes, although you might allow more than that for the return journey. Airport taxis abound, but they are, of course, more expensive. A better idea might be to pick up a rental car on arrival at the airport to use for the duration of your stay.

You can easily pop up the road to Dublin for its more cosmopolitan attractions of course, although most visitors to Ashbourne will be happy with the town’s plentiful charms.

When to Fly to Ashbourne

Most people who have visited Ireland on holiday will attest that it’s often better to travel in the summer. June to September is of course when the weather tends to be brightest and warmest, which always brings out the best in the Irish countryside. The glorious Boyne Valley ranks among Ireland’s foremost tourism destinations and is a real joy to explore, especially when finishing the day off with a pint of the black stuff in a friendly local.

However, travelling in summer does also mean an increase in crowds – this is a very popular part of the country to visit and for good reason. Accommodation prices also tend to be cheaper out of season, so, if your budget is tight, or you prefer to have the place to yourself as much as possible, then Ashbourne holidays are perhaps best taken during the rest of the year.
