Driving from Dublin, Dublin Ferry Port or Dublin Airport.
From Dublin, follow the N1 which becomes the M1 motorway. From Dublin Port take the Port Tunnel (toll) signposted M1. From the Airport follow signs for M1 North (Belfast direction). Stay on the M1 for about 32 Km across the Toll bridge. After about a further 30 Km leave the motorway at Junction 17 signposted Castleblayney and take the first exit at the roundabout along the N53 (again signposted Castleblayney).
Please note that the N53 has a winding section requiring care around Culloville where it passes briefly through Northern Ireland. Continue on the N53 road passing Shoe City on your left and Concra Wood Golf Course on your right. Our entrance is approximately 1km on the right after the 80kph speed limit signs just before a long fence on the right and 50 metres before the 50kph speed limit signs.
Driving from Belfast and Newry.
