Cycling in Achill, Co Mayo, Ireland

Off-road cycling, Achill Island

Achill is a fantastic place for cycling. The island has three looped trails in the Achill Cycle Hub. It is also at one end of the magnificent new Great Western Greenway, a world-class 42km off-road cycle and walking trail that follows the route of the former Achill-Westport railway line. The Greenway currently starts/ends at Achill Sound, with an extension inland to Cashel due to open in summer 2022.
