About Ballina
Ballina is a vibrant market town in north County Mayo, set along the River Moy and close to the wild Atlantic coastline at Killala Bay. As one of Mayo’s largest towns, it has a lively yet relaxed feel, combining busy shopping streets with scenic river walks and the expansive Belleek Woods. The town is renowned for salmon fishing on the Moy and for the annual Ballina Salmon Festival, which draws visitors throughout the summer. Families are well served by a range of primary and secondary schools, while everyday life revolves around a strong mix of independent shops, supermarkets, cafés and traditional pubs. Ballina railway station connects the town to Manulla Junction and on to Dublin, and the N26 provides a direct road link to Castlebar and Ireland West Airport. Outdoor amenities are a major draw, from Belleek Park and its caravan and camping facilities to nearby beaches at Enniscrone and Killala. With neighbouring communities such as Crossmolina, Knockmore and Bonniconlon within easy reach, Ballina offers the facilities of a large town with access to Mayo’s countryside and coastline.
