About Foxford
Foxford is a small, welcoming town in County Mayo, set in the Moy valley between the Ox Mountains and Lough Conn, with the F26 routing key. It has a predominantly rural, residential character, while the compact town centre provides everyday services and a strong sense of community. Families are served locally by Foxford National School and Foxford Community College, with further education options available in nearby towns. The town lies on the N26 between Swinford and Ballina, making it practical for road commuting, while regular bus services connect Foxford with Ballina, Swinford and larger regional destinations. Local shopping is focused around the town centre, where residents will find convenience shops, cafés, pubs and essential services rather than extensive retail choice. The Foxford Woollen Mills Visitor Centre is the area’s best-known landmark and includes a shop, café and heritage interest, while the River Moy and surrounding countryside offer walking, fishing and outdoor recreation. Community and sporting life is active, with local GAA, soccer and other clubs contributing to Foxford’s friendly, village-scale atmosphere.
