Croagh Patrick, Achill’s cliffs and beaches, a greenway for bikes and Yeats country.
Mayo is the wild middle of the Wild Atlantic Way: Westport is a planned Georgian town below the pilgrims’ mountain of Croagh Patrick, and the Great Western Greenway follows an old railway to Achill Island, joined by a bridge, with its huge sea cliffs and white beaches. Sligo, to the north, is W. B. Yeats’s country of flat-topped Benbulben and surfing at Strandhill.
