In the west of Ireland bound on the north and west by the Atlantic Ocean, Mayo is part of Ireland’s wild west. Home of some of Ireland’s most famous pilgrimage sites --including Croagh Patrick--Mayo’s history pre-dates the coming of Patrick. Ancient monasteries were built near still more ancient Bronze Age settlements. Hilly, boggy and windswept Mayo is a poor county for farmers and a good county for fisherman. The coast is dotted with inlets and fishing villages and is renowned for its beauty and quintessential “Irishness.” - notes by Sarah Nagle
