In east County Westmeath between Mullingar and Athlone, Ballymore has about 433 residents. The village sits on rising ground above a stretch of flat midland bogland that extends toward the Shannon. Ballymore's most notable feature is a large Anglo-Norman motte, one of the best-preserved earthwork fortifications in the midlands, built in the late twelfth century to control the crossing of the Inny River.
The Royal Canal, completed in the 1810s to compete with the Grand Canal for Dublin-to-Shannon trade, passes south of the village. The canal never generated the profits its promoters hoped for and was sold to the railway company in 1845. The towpath has been converted into the Royal Canal Greenway, a 130-kilometre cycling route from Dublin to Longford. Hotels in Athlone, 20 kilometres west, accommodate companion meetings.
