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.
The Geesala Loop Walks offer a choice of two loops with both starting in Geesala Village. Both loops offer spectacular views of Achill and of nearby beaches at Dooyork, Doolough, Roy and Doohoma.
These loops are part of a countrywide network of high-quality, circular walks being developed by Fáilte Ireland, Department of Rural & Community Development and Sport Ireland.
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.
