Turlough is a small village and district located in County Mayo in the province of Connacht in the west of Ireland. It sits in the central part of County Mayo, positioned between Castlebar, the county town, and Knock to the south. The landscape surrounding Turlough is characteristically Irish, featuring rolling hills, agricultural land, and rural countryside typical of the west of Ireland. The area is part of the broader terrain of County Mayo, which is known for its varied topography ranging from lowlands to higher elevations, and Turlough sits within a region of mixed farming and pastoral land use.

The village has historical significance as the site of Turlough Park, which served as a residence and later became home to the National Museum of Ireland's Country Life exhibition. This museum is housed in a Victorian Gothic Revival mansion and represents an important cultural institution for the region and beyond. The building itself, set within parkland grounds, reflects the architectural ambitions of 19th-century Ireland and has become a notable landmark in County Mayo. The museum's collections and exhibitions document rural Irish life, traditions, and domestic heritage, drawing visitors to the area.

For the local community, Turlough represents a point of connection between agricultural heritage and modern cultural preservation. The presence of the museum has brought economic and cultural benefit to the district, providing employment and attracting tourism to an otherwise quiet rural area. The village maintains the character of a small Irish townland while hosting this significant institution, which serves both educational and research purposes. Turlough thus embodies the broader Irish experience of balancing traditional rural life with efforts to conserve and celebrate that heritage for future generations.
