Swinford
Swinford is a handy market town on the N5 between Dublin and Westport, making it a natural stopping point for anyone heading to Mayo's coast. The town sits at the junction of several key routes, with Dublin about two and a half hours away and Galway just over an hour via the N17. Ireland West Airport Knock is only 20 kilometers southeast, so it's grand for air travelers needing a base. The old railway station now houses Swinford Museum, where you can see how the Great Western Railway transformed rural Irish communities.
