Cloonfad

united kingdom

Cloonfad is a handy village on the N61 between Athlone and Roscommon town, about 15 kilometres from each. It's a proper spot for crossing the midlands, whether you're coming from Dublin via the M6 or connecting to smaller Roscommon communities. The village sits under a grand old stone railway bridge that carries the Dublin-Westport line, which has been a local landmark for over a century. There's decent EV charging nearby for electric cars, and the surrounding countryside is typical midlands farmland with green fields stretching in every direction.
