Boyle

Located at the foot of the Curlew Mountains, Boyle spans along the banks of the River Boyle with traditional shops and stone buildings throughout its streets.

The Battle of Curlew Pass in 1599 near Boyle resulted in numerous English casualties during the Nine Years' War between English and Irish forces.

The annual Boyle Arts Festival in July presents exhibitions of local art, music performances, poetry readings, and theatrical productions at multiple venues.

The town connects to major cities through its railway station on the Dublin-Sligo line, with regular train services and a bypass road avoiding traffic.

Abbeytown Bridge, dating from the 12th century, stands as one of Ireland's earliest stone bridges and continues to serve traffic over the River Boyle.
