About Geevagh
Geevagh is a rural parish in north County Sligo, centred among the hills and lakes of the Ox Mountains and close to the county borders with Leitrim and Roscommon. It has a quiet, scattered countryside character, with farms, bogland, woodland and open upland scenery rather than a conventional village-town layout. Day-to-day life is community-focused and car-dependent, with nearby services generally found in Drumkeeran, Riverstown, Ballyfarnon and Carrick-on-Shannon. Local education includes Glen School and the historic Old School House, while older pupils typically travel to secondary schools in surrounding towns. Road connections provide access towards Sligo, Boyle, Carrick-on-Shannon and Leitrim, although public transport is limited compared with urban areas. Pubs, cafés, groceries and other essentials are available in neighbouring settlements, with local social life often centred on community halls, sporting activities and parish events. The surrounding landscape offers walking, fishing and scenic drives, and Lough Arrow, Lough Key Forest and the Curlew Mountains are within the wider area. Geevagh suits residents seeking space, privacy and strong rural community ties, while accepting longer journeys for shopping, employment, healthcare and larger leisure facilities.
