Ballinode

united kingdom

Ballinode sits on the N2 between Dublin and Derry, making it a handy stop for cross-border traffic about 100 kilometers north of the capital. The main route runs straight through town, with local roads connecting to Monaghan and the surrounding countryside. There's decent electric vehicle charging in the area, with around 16 fast charging stations for longer journeys. The town sits among the rolling drumlin hills that give this part of Monaghan its distinctive character, and you'll find Rossmore Golf Course nearby, an 18-hole parkland course that winds through mature woodland and around small lakes.
