Overview
County Mayo is on the west coast of Ireland. Its scenery ranges from verdant to desertlike, with rocky cliffs at the Atlantic coast. Clew Bay is dotted with small, steep-sided islands, including Clare Island.
Description
At the eastern end of the bay, Westport town is known for its Georgian architecture and Westport House, a mansion with dungeons. Nearby is Croagh Patrick, a mountain linked to St. Patrick. Uncover the charms of Westport as you walk around the historic streets of Mayo’s most popular town as music floats through the air, before visiting the village of Knock.
Then venture west to the coast and make your way across the bridge to the majestic Achill Island. From the Blue Flag Beach of Keem Bay, to the incredible cliff walks and amazing local food, you’ll never want to go home.
A trip to Mayo will live long in your memory and leave you planning your return visit.
