Crookedwood () is a small village in County Westmeath on the R394 regional road. Historically it was called Taghmon (), after the townland it occupies.

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.

Transport

Local Link route 818 provides several services a day (not Sundays) to Mullingar, Castlepollard, Collinstown and other wayside locations. Bus Éireann route 447 provides a link to Mullingar and Finnea on Thursdays only. The nearest rail service can be accessed at Mullingar railway station approximately 11 km distant.

Sport

The local hurling club, Crookedwood G.A.A, play in the Senior B division of the Westmeath hurling championship.
