About Ballybough

Ballybough sits on Dublin's inner northside along the Royal Canal, easily reached from the city center via Dorset Street or the North Circular Road. The N1 runs straight through from Dublin Airport, about 10 kilometers north, making it handy for arrivals from Belfast or northern counties. The M1 connects seamlessly with the N1 near the airport, while the M50 orbital links the area to all directions around Dublin. The flat terrain along the River Tolka makes for straightforward driving, though some Victorian streets are quite narrow. You'll spot the old lock gates at the 2nd Lock along the Royal Canal, where barges once traveled toward the Shannon.
