Mountbellew

Mountbellew sits 30 kilometres northeast of Galway city, serving as a market town for the surrounding agricultural area where several regional roads meet. The most direct route from Galway follows the N63 through Claregalway, then the R348 into town. From Dublin, take the M6 west to Ballinasloe, then the N63 south for 20 kilometres. The R362 offers a lovely alternative from Tuam, winding through farmland and villages. The weekly livestock mart every Tuesday transforms the quiet streets into a proper hub of agricultural commerce, where cattle prices and weather predictions rule the conversation.
