Aughrim Neighbourhood Guide
Galway
About Aughrim
Aughrim is a small rural village in east County Galway, in the H53 area between Ballinasloe, Ahascragh and Kilreekil. It has a quiet, close-knit countryside character, with scattered homes, farmland and a compact village centre rather than an urban high street. Day-to-day shopping is available locally at Hickey’s Supermarket, while a wider choice of supermarkets, services, cafés and restaurants is found in nearby Ballinasloe. Families generally rely on local primary-school provision, with secondary education and larger services available in Ballinasloe and other surrounding towns. There is no rail station in Aughrim itself, so commuting is mainly by car, using the R348 and regional roads towards Ballinasloe, with rail and bus connections available there. Local social life centres on village pubs, community activities and nearby GAA facilities, while the surrounding countryside offers plenty of scope for walking and outdoor recreation. Aughrim is therefore best suited to residents seeking a peaceful rural setting within practical driving distance of Ballinasloe and the wider Galway–Midlands transport network.
