Ardee is on the N2 road between Dublin and Monaghan, roughly 80 kilometres north of Dublin. By car it takes about an hour from the city, making it a feasible day trip. Bus Éireann runs services from Dublin's Busáras to Ardee, with the journey taking around an hour and a half depending on the route. There is no train station — the nearest rail connections are at Drogheda (about 20 kilometres east) on the Dublin–Belfast line, from where you would need a taxi or local bus to reach Ardee.
