About Tang
Tang is a small, rural village in County Westmeath, in the N37 area between Ballymahon, Drumraney, Glasson, Ballymore and Moyvore. It has a quiet, close-knit countryside character, with homes and farms set among the surrounding farmland rather than an urban streetscape. Day-to-day life is peaceful and car-dependent, while larger shopping, employment and service centres are reached by road in nearby towns. St. Mary’s National School provides local primary education, and secondary-school and further-education options are available in surrounding towns. Road travel is central to commuting, with connections towards Ballymahon, Athlone, Ballymore and Longford; rail services are generally accessed from larger nearby stations. Local social life centres on the village pub and community activity, while restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and broader services are found mainly in Ballymahon, Athlone and Longford. The surrounding countryside offers opportunities for walking, cycling, fishing and GAA, with the River Inny and the wider Midlands landscape contributing to the area’s rural appeal. Tang suits residents looking for space, privacy and village community life rather than extensive facilities immediately on the doorstep.
