Ballygawley in County Sligo has about 310 residents in a rural area east of Collooney, where the Owenmore and Arrow rivers meet. The village should not be confused with its namesake in County Tyrone across the border. Collooney, three kilometres west, was the site of a minor but significant 1798 battle where a French-Irish force under General Humbert defeated a British detachment during the Connacht campaign.
The Ox Mountains (Sliabh Ghamh) rise to the northwest, a chain of quartzite peaks reaching over 540 metres. The Ladies Brae section of the mountains offers hill walks with views across Sligo Bay to Knocknarea. Coolaney, at the foot of the Ox Mountains, is the trailhead for several marked routes. The area between Ballygawley and Coolaney is classic Yeats Country, the landscape that shaped the poet's imagery of Irish mythology and place.
