Three great days walking in north Mayo, in a landscape dominated by the North Atlantic. Erris occupies the North Western corner of Mayo – a spectacular landscape of Atlantic blanket bog, high sea cliffs and low-lying peninsulas.
Day One : Arrival, dinner 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 many seabirds and grey seals.
Day Four : Walking The Mullet peninsula, with its fabulous beaches and views to take the breath away. A visit to a ruined church in a stunning location, plus the local heritage centre, Ionad Deirbhile.
We stay in Léim Siar, a locally owned, environmentally conscious B&B, use the services of a local boat owner for the island and travel in a locally owned minibus or shared cars. Price includes three nights B&B, three packed lunches plus three dinners.
All prices for this glorious walking weekend also inlcude minibus transfer from and back to Castlebar train station. No need to bring the car to Mayo! Check Iarnród Éireann’s timetables here.
