Boyle nestles at the foot of the Curlew mountains at the North of County Roscommon. It is 38 Kilometers from Roscommon Town, 15km from Carrick-on-Shannon, 40 km from Sligo Town and 180 km from Dublin (estimated distances). 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 Dublin/Sligo train stops at Boyle's award-winning railway station five times daily. There are frequent daily bus services between Boyle, Sligo, Galway and Dublin, as well as weekly service with distant universities and learning centres.
The opening of the N4 Curlew-by-pass has resulted in the diversion of through traffic from Boyle, thereby further improving the environmental amenity of the town.
