Ballysadare

united kingdom

Ballysadare sits where the Ballysadare River meets the bay in County Sligo, just 12 kilometers from Sligo town along the R284. The most direct route from Dublin takes the M4 to Longford, then N4 through Carrick-on-Shannon before joining the N17 north, while from Galway it's a straight run up the N17 through Tubbercurry. The town serves as a handy stop on the Wild Atlantic Way, with the N59 nearby for reaching Strandhill and the coast. What makes Ballysadare special is the impressive weir that creates a waterfall right in the town center, clearly visible from the main bridge.
