Hollymount

Ireland

Hollymount sits on the N84 between Ballinrobe and Castlebar in County Mayo, making it a handy stop for anyone crossing the region. The town is about 60 kilometres from Galway and 15 kilometres south of Castlebar, with the N84 connecting to the M6 motorway near Galway for Dublin traffic. Most folk arrive from Galway via Headford and Ballinrobe, while locals use the same route for trips to Castlebar. The big surprise here is Ireland West Airport Knock right on the doorstep, handling international flights despite the rural setting.
