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.
This Greenway takes walkers and cyclists along the line of the old railway between Westport and Achill Island. Along the way, you pass through the pretty villages of Newport and Mulranny and enjoy spectacular scenic views of Croagh Patrick and Clew Bay. You can also begin at the Achill Island Hotel (Ostan Oilean Acla) and do the trail in the opposite direction.
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.
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.
Check out details of new Recreation & Tourism facilities developed in County Mayo during 2022.
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.
