Ballynahinch or Ballinahinch () is a village in County Galway in the west of Ireland. It is situated close to Recess, on the road from Recess to Roundstone. It also lies on the route of the former railway line from Galway city to Clifden (the "Capital of Connemara"). The name comes from the Irish Baile na hInse meaning settlement of the island.
Connemara Greenway
As part of the Wild Atlantic Way development, a 76km Greenway (path used exclusively by pedestrians, cyclists and non-motorised vehicles) is under construction between Galway City and Clifden. The Greenway is being built on the disused railway line between Galway and Clifden. Once completed, the trail will form part of the EuroVelo 1 long distance cycling route from Norway to Portugal. Currently, 6km of the trail has been completed and is open to the public at Ballynahinch. Picnic benches and parking are available at the Connemara Greenway car park
