Approaching
Tullamore from N6 (Dublin/Galway Road)
Turn
left for Tullamore in Kilbeggan - approx. 9miles.
When you enter Tullamore you'll pass a garage & then a Centra on your right side,
continue straight & pass the hospital on your left. Continue till you reach a bridge
going over the canal – immediately before the bridge turn left - at
Beverley's Hair Studios (i.e. don't
cross over the bridge!).
Continue on that road - it veers sharply to the left but just stay on it,
past a shop on the right, past Montessori school on the right, past Walsh Woodwork on the left & shortly after there's a turn to
the right signposted 'Ballycommon, Kilmurray'. Turn right & we're exactly 2.8miles
from that turn. After approx. 2 miles you'll pass a little forest
on your left hand side, we're the 8th or 9th house after the forest on the
right hand side of the road. It's an
ordinary house - painted yellow, with red brick work & a red brick wall
facing the road. There are two soccer goals on the front lawn. If you reach another canal bridge
you've gone too far & need to turn back -
approaching from the canal side, we are the third house on the left.
