Boyle
History & Location
Page

|
Boyle
has a population of approximately
3,000, and is located in the North of County
Roscommon, 38 Kilometers from Roscommon Town, 15km from
Carrick-on-Shannon, 40 km from Sligo Town and 180 km from Dublin. The town is
served by the N4 National Primary Route and the N61 National Secondary Route,
and also by the Dublin Sligo railway line. The opening of the N4 Curlew-by-pass
has resulted in the diversion of through traffic from Boyle, thereby improving
traffic flow in the town. The town has several sites of
historic and architectural interest that include the twelfth century Boyle Abbey
and the eighteenth century King House. These attractive buildings, the
traditional layout of the town centre and the presence of the Boyle River
flowing through the town all combine to make Boyle an attractive place within
which to live, work and visit. The Shannon Waterway was recently
extended close to the town and the nearby Lough Key Forest Park has opened a Visitor Centre, Tree Top Walk,
Restaurant and an Adventure Play Kingdom. It is indeed a picturesque area of
high amenity value.
