    I lived in Ballybrit for three years.
    Was a good 15-20 minute walk or just a few minutes on the rother

    Not a fan!
    Now I went through Castlepark every single day at all hours and in the dark and never a bother.
    But for all the warnings I got you never know what might have happened.
    And this was before they built housing where the halting side was on Hillside. That's quite a few years ago now

    But the travelers weren't the problem, it was the locals.

    Go to Remore OP.
    Gleann Rua might be a good option. Nice houses, it's only a five minute walk to GMIT.
    Nice estate, I lived there too and many friends did too
