Tyrrellspass

Tyrrellspass is a handy stop along the N6 between Dublin and Galway, sitting about 100 kilometres west of the capital and 15 kilometres from Tullamore. The town makes a grand base for exploring County Westmeath, with good connections to Mullingar via the R446 and plenty of EV charging points for electric cars. Named after the Anglo-Norman Tyrrell family who controlled this medieval pass, the town still has its original stone bridge over the Yellow River carrying N6 traffic today.
