Ballaghaderreen

united kingdom

Ballaghaderreen is a handy market town in County Roscommon, right on the N5 between Dublin (180km east) and Westport (45km west). It's a grand spot for breaking your journey, especially with Ireland West Airport Knock just 20km south. The town has plenty of fast charging stations for electric cars, making it perfect for longer trips across the west. What makes this place special is its annual Bollywood festival, one of Ireland's most unusual cultural events that celebrates the town's Indian community and brings a bit of South Asian flair to rural Roscommon.
