About Ballina
Ballina is a substantial market town in north County Mayo, set on the River Moy and serving a wide rural hinterland that includes Crossmolina, Bonniconlon and Knockmore. It has a friendly, practical town-centre character, with established residential areas, riverside scenery and strong connections to nearby coastal destinations including Killala and Enniscrone. Education is well represented locally, including Saint Oliver Plunkett National School and secondary-school provision in the town. The centre offers everyday shopping, cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs, while larger supermarkets and services make Ballina a convenient base for families and commuters. Bus services connect the town with Sligo, Castlebar, Westport and surrounding villages, and Ballina railway station provides rail connections towards Manulla Junction and onward to Castlebar and Dublin. The River Moy and Belleek Woods provide attractive walking and leisure settings, with Belleek Park Caravan and Camping a recognisable local base beside the park. Residents also benefit from the town’s sporting culture, including Gaelic games, soccer, rugby, athletics and angling, while Enniscrone’s beach and Killala’s historic harbour are close enough for regular day trips.
