I dont know the area too well but I might be moving there for work soon. I wanted to get peoples opinions on what's good/bad about the place?

Its a nice little town, a lot of the pubs have closed though and very few young fellas left in the place with them all gone away to college, if your a young fella you might be better off in Sligo or carrick

I am young but I am not much of a drinker and actually prefer the quiet so I'm happy to hear that! Thanks for the reply.

Its a town on the decline over the last few years, I've been told it used to be a great town but its a ****hole now to be honest.

I wouldn't class it as a million miles away from Castlerea to be honest, OP I'd avoid Boyle and move to Carrick if your moving to the area

Carrick is a nice spot alright, castlerea is pure cat, nothing to it accept the prison, boarded up houses and fellas looking for scraps any time I was drinking there

I have been to Forest Park before which was really cool. I could see myself spending allot of time down there weather permitting.

Boyle's is an ok town ,nicer place to live than Castlerea.There isn't much to do but its similar to most regional towns .Carrick is dead during the week but would be livlier during the weekend.
If your work will be based in Boyle town probably as well to live there than having to travel every morning.

The rent might be a bit cheaper in boyle too cos it doesnt get any tourists and the like

I was born and reared in Boyle, lived there for the first 31 years of my life.

There are some things going on socially, but not a lot admittedly. Carrick on Shannon is only over the road though, a ten minute drive. Boyle has really fantastic scenery, and the people are great, very welcoming.
