Maynooth - suggestions for a day trip? (NOT DUBLIN)

[stuartmoss]

Hi All,

I've got a full day spare this coming Sunday, I'll be staying in Maynooth near the railway station, and wondered what might be a good option for a day out from there? I'm with the Mrs, so train journeys less than 90 mins preferable or I get ear ache!

Cheers in advance!

If we're going to exclude the obvious, surely it has to be Sligo? It's a 2 and a half hour journey though. Is there anything to do in Longford or Mullingar?

Is passing through Dublin allowed? I had a good time Bray and Graystones last summer (you can walk along the coast from one to the other if you enjoy that sort of thing)

Without wishing to sound deliberately negative, take a book if you head up towards Sligo, for almost its entirety it is one of the most unremarkable railway lines I have ever done.
