About Crosserlough
Crosserlough is a small rural village and townland area in east County Cavan, west of Ballyjamesduff and within reach of Cavan town, with a quiet, strongly community-oriented character. The surrounding landscape is predominantly farmland, drumlin countryside and small lakes, making the area appealing to residents seeking space and a village setting rather than urban convenience. Local life centres on the village, the parish church, community facilities and nearby sporting activity, while Ballyjamesduff provides a broader range of shops and everyday services. Crosserlough National School serves local primary-school families, with secondary options available in Ballyjamesduff and Cavan town, including Virginia and St Clare’s colleges depending on the route and family preference. There is no railway station in the locality, so most residents rely on cars, with regional bus services and nearby towns providing additional connections; Dublin commuting is possible but relatively long-distance. Pubs and casual food options are concentrated in the village and neighbouring settlements, while Ballyjamesduff and Cavan offer more cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and professional services. Recreation is a major part of the area’s identity, particularly through Crosserlough GAA, local community activity and access to countryside walks, lakes and the wider amenities of Cavan County.
