Swinford (Irish: Béal Átha na Muice, meaning 'ford-mouth of the pig')[2] is a town in County Mayo, Ireland. It is surrounded by a number of smaller villages, including Midfield and Meelick.[3] It is just off the N5 road, 18 km (11 mi) from Knock Airport. Situated on a tributary of the River Moy, Swinford is known for its fishing waters, including the Callow lakes and the lakes of Conn and Cullin. Swinford was bypassed in 1993 by the N5 route and was the first town in Mayo to be bypassed.
