Mayo Hotels and Information

County Mayo is located on Ireland's Atlantic west coast of Ireland, bordered by Sligo to the northeast, Roscommon to the east and Galway to the south.

Stretching from Lough Corrib in the south to Killala Bay in the north, Mayo boasts megalithic tombs, castles, monuments, dolmens, cairns, abbeys, monasteries and other historical sites. There are several large owns in Mayo with a good variety of hotels & B&B's to stay in.

Croagh Patrick, the pyramid shaped mountain overlooking Clew Bay, is where Saint Patrick is said to have banished snakes from Ireland. Our megalithic ancestors worshipped there as far back as 3000 B.C. The other famous religious site is Knock, with Our Lady?s shrine, which is visited by over a million pilgrims every year. Nearby Westport offers hotel accommodation and plenty of lively pubs and restaurants.

Ceide Fields, concealed beneath a five thousand year old bog near Ballycastle, is a remarkable pattern of walled fields and corrals which indicate the existence of an ancient, ordered tribe who farmed this area before the bog was formed.

Mayo is wonderfully unspoilt and offers dramatic scenic delights to the visitor. Anglers have come to Mayo for decades.
