About Geevagh
Geevagh is a small, rural parish in north County Sligo, close to the borders of Leitrim and Roscommon and within the F52 routing area. The locality has a quiet countryside character, with scattered homes, farmland, upland scenery and strong links to neighbouring Drumkeeran, Riverstown, Ballyfarnon, Kilmactranny and Ballintogher. Day-to-day life is peaceful and car-dependent, with larger shopping trips and many services usually accessed in nearby towns such as Carrick-on-Shannon, Sligo or Boyle. Local education is represented by Glen School and the Old School House, while families may also look to primary and secondary schools in surrounding settlements. There are no major rail or urban transport services in Geevagh itself, so commuting is generally by car, using the regional roads towards Sligo, Carrick-on-Shannon and the N4. Pubs, cafés and community facilities are found mainly in nearby villages, including Drumkeeran, Riverstown and Ballyfarnon, with a wider choice of restaurants and retail in Sligo and Carrick-on-Shannon. The surrounding area is well suited to walking, fishing, cycling and enjoying the scenery around Lough Arrow, the Bricklieve Mountains and the wider Sligo-Leitrim lakelands. Community life is an important part of the parish, with local sporting and voluntary organisations providing social connections in an otherwise spacious and tranquil rural setting.
