County Mayo Travel Guide: 255 reviews and 436 photos

The last stop of our two week trip along Ireland's west coast (see our Itinerary in a travelogue on my Ireland page!) brought us to County Mayo.

Clew Bay

We stayed in a little place close to Westport and tried climbing Croagh Patrick while we were there. I loved the spectacular landscapes of Mayo, the sea never looked as blue and the mountains never looked higher anywhere else for the last two weeks!

The chapel on top of Croagh Patrick

I hope to go back there some day to see more of this great part of a great island...

Have a look around!

Wow, ich war diesen Sommer zum zweiten Mal in Leenaun und Doo Lough, finde diese Geschichte jedes Mal entsetzlich.

Hi Sabsi, Happy St. Patrick's Day and thanks for your very informative pages about County Mayo. That's the land of my ancestors, although I haven't been there yet. We hope to make the trip in a year or two. Stephen and Karen

Sabsi, Sabsi, I know now why you didn’t reach the top, STOP smoking. –lol- There is so much history and hardship on this page, the famine and the walk up Croagh Patrick. A great page with amazing travelogues and overwhelming pictures.
