About Ballylongford
Ballylongford is a small, historic village in north County Kerry, close to the River Shannon estuary and within easy reach of Listowel, Ballybunion, Tarbert and the ferry connection at Killimer. It has a quiet, rural character, with a strong local community and a mix of traditional homes, farmland and estuary-side scenery. Everyday life is centred on the village’s local shops, pubs and community facilities, while larger grocery, retail and employment choices are available in Listowel and Tralee. Ballylongford National School serves local primary-age children, with secondary education options generally found in Listowel and nearby towns. There is no rail station in the village, so commuting is mainly by car, using the N69 towards Listowel, Tarbert and Tralee, with the Shannon Ferry providing a useful connection to County Clare. Local amenities include pubs, cafés and community venues, while the surrounding countryside and Shannon estuary offer opportunities for walking, fishing and nature watching. Ballybunion’s beaches and leisure attractions are nearby, and Listowel provides a broader selection of restaurants, cultural venues, services and sporting facilities.
