There is something profoundly literary about the life of a salmon. Born into the waters of a river, they head to the mouth of the river at a young age, fattening up and preparing for the changes in water salinity that they will experience as adults.

North Mayo

North Mayo

the feeling that explodes in your chest when you reach the mouth of the River Moy, in Killala Bay, at the most eastern point of the North coast of the County, A feeling that can be described as a wave, a force that permeates through you, created by the interaction with nature and one that whilst not visible, reverberates inside you like the truest of truths.

Wild Atlantic Way

Wild Atlantic Way

The term was coined in 2011 by Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, but the route was always there. The Wild Atlantic Way (WAW) spans from Ireland’s most northerly point, Malin Head in Donegal to its most southerly, Mizen Head in Cork, taking in Leitrim, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Clare, and Kerry along the way. 2,500 kilometres of stunning coastline, staggering cliffs, windswept lighthouses, Blue Flag beaches and national parks make this a special route.
