This tour will bring you to Achill Island and it's 3000
people.
No need for ferries here as you can drive onto
it.
Take the Newport road out of Westport. On arrival in
Newport see the seven arched Viaduct which used to carry the
train to Achill.
A few miles outside Mulrany there is a
sign for Carrigahowley Castle. This was once a home of
Grainuail the famouse sea pirate, this has been renovated and
visitors can get the key at the house just beside it.
For
people who are familiar with Grainuaile this castle would
probably be known to them as Rockfleet.
Carry on from
here to Mulrany with its fine beaches and nine hole golf
course, for those wanting to drive something else besides the
car.

 At Achill
Sound you cross onto mainland Achill Island. Here there are
many fine drives with winding roads and cliff edge descents
for the careful driver. The Atlantic drive is a must. This
will bring you right around the island. At Keel look out for
the Dolphins and Basking Sharks playing together at the beach
side. For those wanting a swim don't be put off as these
sharks are Vegetarian.
