Island · Co. Mayo

Achill Island

The largest island off the west coast, linked to the mainland by a bridge since 1987 — wild Atlantic headlands, black-pebble bays, a lighthouse with a story, and a landscape that has shaped Irish life for a thousand years.

Free to explore; a small charge at some coastal car parks.

Croagh Patrick
