The first stop of many guests is the local supermarket. There are a number of supermarkets in Ashbourne – Dunnes Stores, Tesco, Supervalu, Aldi and Lidl.
Of course, you may choose to put that off until later in your visit and other visitors choose to go for a walk.
There is a 1.5km walk around the forest in Duffys of Ballybin, but if you drive for around ten minutes to Balrath Woods, there is a series of walks, as well as swings and climbing frames for children.
Fifty50 is a nice family restaurant for your first night, serving a range of family favourites, focused on Italian and Mediterranean food.
