Achill Island
Achill Island is dominated by three imposing mountains, and its coast is edged by dramatic cliff faces as well as numerous charming resort villages that boasts several broad, sandy beaches. So why not spend a fulfilling day exploring its magic by foot? To reach the island from Castlebar, take the R311 to Newport town, then take the N59 through Mulranny (the gateway to the island).

I only went on a couple of day trips to Castlebar, so it's not like I am a Castlebarologist, but I really liked it. It's very pleasant.
