The North West Ireland / County Mayo region

North Mayo is a present to the geologist, archaeologist and the botanist and offers magnificent scenery of sea and cliffscapes, beaches and dramatic mountains.

It is the largely undisturbed openness of the countryside and the closeness of the wild Atlantic that stands in contrast with small cosy cottages with their fireplaces that make this part of Ireland truly unique. Knock on any door and you are welcome.
