Visit the Neolithic Céide Fields perched on the cliffs of North Mayo’s coastline, before checking into a luxury hotel in Belmullet! Enjoy a short heritage walk around the Gaeltacht town, followed by dinner in an awardwinning restaurant. No stay in Erris would be complete without listening to (or partaking in) a live traditional music seisiún in one of the local pubs!
After a walk along one of the stunning Atlantic beaches, drop into the Ballycroy National Park Visitor Centre to see the flora and fauna, while submerging yourself in the local myths and legends. Later, try your hand at a traditional craft while enjoying a cup of tea – and take home a piece of heritage!
