Geography
Overlooked by the dominating hill of Knockeyon to the north, the village rests between the pine-covered hills as they roll down towards Lough Derravaragh, and located about 8 km north of Mullingar, at the south-eastern tip of the Lough.
Similar to Lough Lene, in Collinstown, the nearby Lough Derravaragh fishing interests are also promoted by the Crookedwood community.[citation needed]
Transport
Local Link route 818 provides several services a day (not Sundays) to Mullingar, Castlepollard, Collinstown and other wayside locations.[2] Bus Éireann route 447 provides a link to Mullingar and Finnea on Thursdays only.[3] The nearest rail service can be accessed at Mullingar railway station approximately 11km distant.
Sport
The local hurling club, Crookedwood G.A.A, play in the Senior B division of the Westmeath hurling championship.[4]
