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 Castlebar to Turlough route takes you through woodland and open countryside and follows the course of the Castlebar river from Castlebar town to the Museum of Country Life in Turlough. Along the trail, you cross over a single-span red bridge which is a lovely feature of this greenway.
The Cross Loop walks are beautiful coastal trails, both starting at the small car park beside Cross Abbey at the head of the beach at Cross Point. The islands of Inis Gé and Inis Gluaire are visible from the shoreline.
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.

Achill Island in County Mayo was home to the film set of the award-winning film “The Banshee of Inisherin”.
Within Mayo, there is a feast of great cycling options through a series of scenic routes. There are country roads leading to seaside coves, and to mountain tops.
This project “Mayo Trails Website” was funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development and Mayo County Council under the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme.
