Whitehall Neighbourhood Guide
Roscommon
Whitehall is a rural locality in County Roscommon, in the north-west Midlands, close to the villages of Newtownforbes, Dromod and Tarmonbarry. The area is served by the wider amenities of nearby settlements, with Longford and Carrick-on-Shannon providing larger town services within a relatively short drive. Its N41 routing key reflects its position in a predominantly countryside setting rather than a built-up town centre.
Area character
Rural and dispersed, with farmland, lakeside and river landscapes in the surrounding area. Whitehall suits residents seeking a quiet countryside setting while remaining within reach of village facilities, commuter roads and rail services at nearby Dromod.
