Central Mayo
Inishbiggle Bullsmouth Loop
Inishbiggle is a small island between the northeast of Achill Island and the mainland off the coast of County Mayo. The island is accessed by boat from Gubnadoogha at Ballycroy or Bullsmouth on Achill Island. The island is only 2.6 km2 in area–and is home to about 20 people. Farming and fishing are the primary activities. There are two loop walks to choose from on Inishbiggle with separate trailheads, one at each ferry landing point at opposite ends of the island.
North Mayo
Mount Jubilee Loop
This is an enjoyable walk along quiet country lanes and bog trails. There are fantastic views over Achill Island, Mount Jubilee bog, Goolamore bog, the Oweniny River and Tullaghan Bay.
