Exploring County Mayo
Slievemore Deserted Village
Distance: 102 km
Driving time: 1 hour 40 minutes
Found on Achill Island, around 100 ruins of stone-cottages, once used as summer homes, reside within a rich archaeological area. Slievemore is the largest abandoned settlement on the island and dates back to the early medieval era, however, why it was deserted remains a mystery.
Moore Hall
Distance: 34 km
Driving time: 35 minutes
Once a grand mansion belonging to an aristocratic Irish family, Moore Hall is now a sombre site. Overtaken by nature, its empty windows are filled by lengths of ivy. Its former owner, John Moore, was the first president of any kind in Ireland. Built in the 1790s, the house burnt down during the civil war in 1923, and has yet to be restored.
Ballintubber Abbey
Distance: 30 km
Driving time: 35 minutes
Founded in 1216, Ballintubber Abbey is the only church in Ireland founded by an Irish king and still remains in use. While its appearance doesn’t compare to any of Ireland’s grand cathedrals, its history is a showcase of impressive triumph, having escaped destruction numerous times.

Croagh Patrick
Croagh Patrick, commonly referred to as The Reek, is often thought of as the holiest mountain in Ireland. The cone shaped peak, which juts out from the countryside, has been a significant place of pilgrimage for 5,000 years.
Legend has it that Ireland’s patron saint – Saint Patrick – fasted for 40 days and 40 nights atop the mountain in 442 AD, and forever banished snakes from Ireland here. Around one million pilgrims still visit each year to celebrate the saint. But even for those not on a pilgrimage, the mountain, at 750 metres high, provides excellent views of Clew and the surrounding landscape.
Five miles from the town of Westport, it is a one-hour drive from Knock. You can park your vehicle at the information centre and walk up from there.
