Westport Directory

Mulranny has three loop walks. All three have sunstantial overlap and vary in distance. The Causeway walk is 6km, The Cushlecka Walk is 9km and the third and newest loop walk has an option of 4/6km and begins and ends at Mulranny beach.

Cong Forest Nature Trail is 3.8Km long and a lovely walk steeped in history and nature. You will see forests with 100 year old trees, Cong Abby and the surrounding caves.

There are three loop walks that begin at the Derradda community centre, about 3.5km West of Newport, just off the Newport/Mulranny road (N59).

Mayo's hundreds of pristine beaches, from small sheltered coves to vast expansive strands, are some of the best in the country, if not the world.

Letterkeen Woods is one of the largest forest blocks in the country. Majestic conifers and views of the Nephin Beg range make a spectacular day out.

Three Letterkeen Woods loop walks offer a mix of old droving paths, sandy river and lake-side roads, with spectacular mountain views on one of the loops.

The Nephin Beg range dominates the skyline, looking north from Clew Bay. The Bangor Trail passes through the range, and the Letterkeen Loop is in its midst.

Nephin is the second highest mountain in County Mayo and the 36th highest in Ireland. It dominates the local lanscape.

Inishbiggle (Inis Bigil, “island of the fasting”, in Irish) is an unspoilt and unique island, where life runs at a relaxed pace. Ferries run from the mainland and Achill Island, and the loop walks are popular with visitors.

Clew Bay has 365 islands, one for each day of the year. Visit the islands by ferry, enjoy the beautiful beaches, walks, historical sites and hospitality

The Sheeffry Hills are a range of mountains south of Westport in County Mayo. The views from the summits are spectacular.
