Ceide Fields   Here you can indulge yourself in a vast prehistoric landscape, a natural wild ecology of blanket bog, dramatic cliffs and coastline, and a much acclaimed building, which has received Ireland's most prestigious architectural award.

The Céide Fields are the oldest known field systems in the world, over five
and a half millennia old. It is a unique Neolithic landscape of world
importance, which has changed our perception of our Stone Age
ancestors. The remains of stone field walls, houses and megalithic tombs
are preserved beneath a blanket of peat over several square miles. They
tell a story of the everyday lives of a farming people, their organized
society, their highly developed spiritual beliefs, and their struggle against a
changing environment beyond their control.

Fishing on River Moy The Moy offers something for everyone with fast running fly waters as well as some of the with some of the most productive bait and spinning Salmon waters to be found anywhere.

The Moy estuary is situated at the mouth of the river Moy and stretches
from Ballina town for almost five miles to Killala bay. It's our little piece of
Heaven. It's got everything ...scenery, a wonderful variety of bird life,
golden beaches, a beautiful island and above all else, Seatrout.
Although the river Moy is better known for its salmon fishing, newcomers
are pleasantly surprised to discover healthy runs of sea trout in the
estuary. The Moy estuary is not renowned for double figure seatrout but
whatever it lacks in quality it makes up for in quantity.

Golf in County Mayo    There are several quality golf courses in the area including Ballina, Enniscrone, Westport, Castlebar and the famous links course at Carne Belmullet

The towering sand dunes of the Atlantic coast of Mayo are the unique
setting for this new Championship Links Course. Carne (Belmullet) was
featured in the Top Ten of new developments in the British Isles by Golf
World in November 1994. The ubiquitous Atlantic wind makes the second
nine a real challenge on the 11th, 14th and 17th in particular - a gem of a
links well worthy of a visit despite its geographical isolation

Errew Abbey is situated at the extreme end of Errew on a peninsula stretching from the barony of Tirawley into Loch Conn and it was founded by St. Tiernan in the 7th century. Tradition has it that Errew was erected by the Barretts, for the Augustinians, on the site of an earlier church. Bishop Thomas Barrett of Elphin was buried there in 1404.
