    [introduction] => 
    [description] => 
Forming a spectacular natural boundary between counties Galway and Mayo, Killary Fjord – An Caoláire Rua – stretches beneath the towering slopes of Mweelrea. Today’s walks follow its southern shoreline along a rocky trail originally built as a famine relief road during the 19th century. 
Created to provide employment for local communities during the Great Famine, this historic route offers a moving connection to Ireland’s past. It also rewards walkers with magnificent views across the fjord and surrounding mountains. 
Please note that some sections are rough and uneven underfoot.

    [introduction] => 
    [description] => 
Today’s walks begin at the Connemara National Park Visitor Centre and explores Diamond Hill, named for the quartzite that sparkles in the sunlight, particularly after rain. 
Both options are relatively short, although the upper route provides a much tougher challenge. This leaves plenty of time in the afternoon to visit Kylemore Abbey, with entrance included. 
Originally built as a romantic gift, Kylemore later became a Benedictine monastery. Explore its Victorian Walled Garden and beautiful Gothic church, or simply relax and admire the abbey’s reflections in Pollacapall Lough.

Ascent: 350 feet (100m) 
This shorter walk follows Diamond Hill’s waymarked Lower Route. Using old bog roads, boardwalks, tracks and steps, it is the gentler of today’s choices. Although it doesn’t reach the summit, it still offers superb views across the coastline and surrounding islands.

Distance:  4.5 miles (7km) 
Ascent:  1,650 feet (500m) 
Branching away from the Lower Route, we follow the Upper Route towards the summit of Diamond Hill. The path becomes steep, rocky and exposed as it approaches the summit ridge, but the reward is an outstanding panorama across the Twelve Bens, Kylemore Abbey and the Atlantic coast.

    [introduction] => 
    [description] => 
Lying around 6km off the Mayo coast, Clare Island is known for its towering cliffs, rugged hills, sweeping sea views and unspoilt landscapes. We take the ferry from Roonagh and spend the day exploring on foot. 
Situated at the entrance to Clew Bay, the island has a rich natural and cultural heritage. Discover stories of the legendary Pirate Queen, Grace O’Malley, look out for abundant birdlife and pass some of Clare Island’s many archaeological sites.

    [title] => Croagh Patrick Heritage Trail
    [introduction] => 
    [description] => 
The Croagh Patrick Heritage Trail stretches from Balla in central Mayo to Murrisk, a small coastal village at the foot of Croagh Patrick. 
Ireland’s patron saint, St Patrick, is believed to have fasted on the mountain’s summit for 40 days. It has since become an important pilgrimage site, with some pilgrims traditionally making the challenging ascent barefoot. 
We won’t be heading to the summit – or walking barefoot – but instead explore the mountain’s scenic foothills before finishing in Murrisk, where there will be time to relax and take in the coastal surroundings.

Traverse the lower slopes before descending towards the coast and Murrisk.
