About Hollymount
Hollymount is a small rural village in south-east County Mayo, within the F12 routing area and conveniently positioned between Claremorris, Ballinrobe and the Galway–Mayo borderlands.

Families are served by local primary education, while secondary schools and further facilities are available in nearby Claremorris, Ballinrobe and Tuam. Daily life is shaped by local shops, pubs and community activities, with residents travelling by car for many larger errands; bus services and nearby rail stations provide additional connections. The surrounding landscape is attractive and predominantly rural, with the River Robe, Lough Mask country and the wider Partry and Joyce Country areas within reach for walking, fishing and outdoor recreation.
