Sightseeing
If you drive across the dyke road to the top of the steep hill on the way to Inishcottle you will be treated to a view which uniquely brings you to the centre of Clew Bay without having to step into a boat! From here you get full appreciation of the distinctive drowned drumlin islands and it's a marvelous location for sunsets.

Visit the visitors centre to appreciate the archaeology, history and natural history associated with this iconic quatrzite mountain.
Climb t the top then and follow in the footsteps thousands before you, some of whom could even be your ancestors.
Be careful on the descent as the footing is very loose.

Arts & Culture
The ruins of Burrishoole Abbey are special. Quiet and peaceful beside the tranquil tidal estuary where otters can be sighted, this is a place for contemplation and the inner journey.
If you enjoy religious art and architecture then the RC church in Newport village is also worth a visit. It's a fine example of neo-hibernian architecture which incorporated elements of early medieval stone carving into 19th century church buildings. The beautiful Harry Clarke stained glass window of the Last Judgement on the east wall inside the building is also a must-see.

This tower house was one of Grainne Uaile (Grainne Mhaol)'s strongholds in Mayo from her first marriage. The story goes that her galley was anchored outside the tower house at Rockfleet and it's warps (ropes) were tied onto her bedstead on the upper floor when Grainne was staying. This infamous sea queen was a fascinating character whose life has been historically recorded by Anne Chambers.
