This fabulous walking weekend in northwest Mayo takes place over the Easter weekend in early April 2021, in a land dominated by the North Atlantic. The barony of Erris occupies this far corner of Mayo – a spectacular landscape of Atlantic blanket bog, high sea cliffs, low-lying peninsulas and seemingly never-ending beaches.
Day One : Arrival and dinner in Belmullet, followed by drive to our excellent B&B at Blacksod (An Fód Dubh) and orientation.
Day Two : The truly wonderful cliff-top walk at An Ceathrú Thaidhg, in the far corner of NW Mayo. We follow that with a second, shorter stroll on Erris Head’s beautiful cliff-top walk.
Day Three : Out on the wonderful, evocative Iniskea Islands, deserted since the 1930s and now home to seabirds and wildlife (subject to weather).
Day Four : Walking The Mullet peninsula, with its fabulous beaches and views to take the breath away. Visits along the way to a tiny ruined medieval church in a stunning location and a holy well by the sea.
For this walking weekend, we stay in one of the finest B&Bs on the Wild Atlantic Way, where we enjoy 3 B&B nights. It’s located right beside one of the best pubs in the West of Ireland.
Cliff top walk
The price includes three nights B&B, three packed lunches plus three dinners, along with full guiding throughout and the boat trip out to Iniskea. A magical weekend in west Mayo.
Watch out! This weekend takes place in early April, so please come prepared for all the weather the North Atlantic will throw at us!
