About Ballinahown
Also known as Ballynahown (Irish: Baile na hAbhainn, meaning “Town on the River”), our rural village is nestled in south County Westmeath, named for its location on the River Worm, a tributary of the River Shannon.
With a population of around 75 residents and a wider hinterland of about 3,000, Ballinahown is a close-knit community. We are situated approximately 10 km south of Athlone along the N62 and just 5 km from the banks of the River Shannon. The surrounding landscape features low-lying agricultural land and Midlands Raised Bog, with the historic Esker Riada running adjacent to the village.
