Westport and Ballina passes through the town. Ireland West Airport

Ballyhaunis grew up around St Mary's Augustinian Friary which was
founded as far back as 1348. The town and the surrounding
countryside has one of the highest concentrations of megalithic
monuments and tombs in the West of Ireland. Ballyhaun is located in
the midst a patchwork of small fields, bogland, lakes and narrow
country lanes - ideal terrain for the walking/cycling enthusiast
There are several good fishing lakes within a 12 km radius of the
town inculding Bekan, Lake O'Flynn, Errit, Mannin and Urlaur. These
provide the keen angler with first-rate game and course fishing
opportunities. Pike, perch, tench and trout are in plentiful supply.
Ballyhaunis Golf Club is located just 3km north of the town.

of eighteen tees in different positions so golfers can get the
experience of 18 holes from just nine physical ones.Utmost accuracy
is demanded here by the tricky greens if you want to have any chance
of having a good score. |
