Introducing Roscrea
The pleasant little town of Roscrea (Ros Cré) is a useful pit stop on the journey between Dublin and the west. It has some interesting ruins and couple of good places for a bite to eat.

Roscrea owes its beginnings to a 5th-century monk, St Crónán, who set up a way station for the travelling poor. Most of the historical structures are on or near the main street, Castle St.
The Bank of Ireland on Castle St has an ATM. The town is protected from the busy traffic of the N7 by a bypass.
