Ballinamore

Ireland

Ballinamore in County Leitrim sits on the R202, making it a handy base for exploring Ireland's lakeland. It's 18 kilometres from Carrick-on-Shannon via the R202, or you can approach from the east on the R199 through Cavan. The drive from Dublin takes about two hours via the N4 and R202. The town is famous for The Shed Distillery, where they make Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin with oriental botanicals and local spring water. Six public fast chargers serve electric vehicles in the area.
