🔊 Listen to this Post Foxford (Irish: Béal Easa, meaning ‘mouth of the waterfall’) is a village 16 km south of Ballina in County Mayo, Ireland. It stands on the N26 national primary route from Swinford to Ballina and has a railway station served by trains between Manulla Junction and Ballina.

Foxford lies on the River Moy, a salmon-fishing river, close to Loughs Conn and Cullin and between the Nephin and Ox Mountains. The Foxford Way is an 86-km waymarked tourist trail that circles Foxford, taking in the Ox Mountains, bogland, archeological sites, lakeshores and river banks.

Foxford railway station is on the Manulla Junction to Ballina line which connects to the Westport–Dublin Heuston service. The station opened on 1 May 1868. After being closed (against local opposition) in 1963 it was reopened in 1988. The N26 road passes through the town, crossing a narrow bridge over the River Moy.

Agnes Bernard founded a convent and started a water-powered woollen mill here in 1892. The Foxford Woollen Mills are known for producing characteristic wool blankets.
