Lough Corrib defines the setting of Moycullen — Ireland’s second-largest lake lies nearby as the village marks the transition from Galway’s urban fringe to the low, lake-strewn interior of western Connacht. Positioned on the N59 between Galway city and Oughterard, Moycullen is closely tied to the road route towards Connemara. Lough Corrib drains south through the River Corrib to Galway Bay, linking the area to the Atlantic coast. Its Irish name, Maigh Cuilinn, means “plain of holly”, reflecting the enduring presence of Irish-language place names in this part of County Galway.
