Foxford (Irish: Béal Easa, meaning 'mouth of the waterfall')[2] is a town 16 km south of Ballina in County Mayo, Ireland.
Agnes Bernard founded a convent and started a water-powered woollen mill here in 1892.
The N58 serves as the main road to Castlebar, travelling south to through Strade, and joining the N5 in Ballyvary.
In 2005 a new link road between the N26 and N58 was built, easing traffic congestion in the town centre.
[7] Foxford railway station is on the Manulla Junction to Ballina line which connects to the Westport-Dublin Heuston service.
