## Must-See
- **Westport** — Planned Georgian town on the Carrowbeg River, consistently voted Ireland's favourite town. Outstanding pub and restaurant scene for its size, good EV charging, excellent base for the whole section. Matt Molloy's pub (owned by The Chieftains' flautist) has traditional music nightly.
- ⭐ **Achill Island** — Ireland's largest island, connected by a bridge — no ferry needed. **Keem Bay** is a pristine turquoise beach in a natural cliffside amphitheatre; the drive/cycle to it is one of the most dramatic in Ireland. The Slievemore Deserted Village (over 100 stone houses abandoned during the Famine) is haunting and very quiet. Excellent cycling on quiet Atlantic Drive roads.

Rent a bike in Keel village for a few hours — the island roads are quiet and flat enough to be genuinely enjoyable. The Slievemore Deserted Village (over 100 stone houses abandoned during the Famine) is haunting and very quiet.
- **Croagh Patrick** — Ireland's holiest mountain; pilgrims climb it barefoot on the last Sunday of July (Reek Sunday). The quartzite cone above Clew Bay is one of Ireland's most iconic views. The hike takes 3–4h return; the summit (764m) has a small chapel and extraordinary views over the bay's 365 islands on a clear day.
- **Céide Fields** — The world's most extensive Stone Age monument: a complete 5,000-year-old farming landscape (field walls, houses, tombs) preserved intact under the bog. On the north Mayo coast; good detour if driving the full coastal route.
