Mayo has so much more to offer walking enthusiasts than any other county in the country! There are all kinds of walking trails, including Mountain, Coastal and Island, Rural and Urban Greenways, and National Loop Trails. Here you will find an abundance of information, including directions, detailed maps, descriptions and photographs.
Start from the village of Ballintubber just off the N84 Castlebar to Ballinrobe road. Approximately 100 m past Ballintubber Abbey which is located to your right, look out for a fingerpost sign pointing you in the direction of Clogher. Turn left and follow this road for approximately 5 km until you arrive in Clogher village.
On the walk, you pass the Holy Well called Tobermacduach. Unbaptised babies were buried near the well in an unconsecrated Children’s burial ground up until circa 1900.
The remains of a medieval altar and a 12th-century round tower, which now stands approximately 10 meters high, are located just off the main square in Balla. These ruins were built on the site of a 7th-century monastery. The round tower is believed to have once stood at a height of 30 meters.
