Bullaun Neighbourhood Guide
Galway
Bullaun is a rural locality in east County Galway, within the H62 routing area and close to the villages of Kilreekil, Kiltullagh and New Inn. Loughrea is the nearest larger town for a broader range of shopping, services and secondary education, while Galway city is accessible for major employment, healthcare and cultural facilities. The surrounding landscape is predominantly agricultural, with dispersed homes and small settlements rather than a compact village centre.
