Loughglinn

Ireland

Loughglinn sits on the N5 between Dublin and Westport, making it a handy stop for anyone heading to the Atlantic coast or touring the midlands. It's about 140 kilometers from Dublin via the M4 and N4, or roughly an hour from Galway on the N17 and N5. The town's claim to fame is its annual festival featuring traditional music sessions that pull musicians from all over Roscommon, turning this quiet spot into a proper session town for a few days each summer.
