The Greenway is a scenic route that takes you almost all the way from Westport to Achill Island. You can walk or cycle, and there are plenty of places to rest such as this one which combines art with a first-rate photo opportunity!

Humpback whale off Achill Island
On Sat 11th Feb Michael Patten and friends went surfing off Keel beach, Achill Island, Co. Mayo. Out beyond the surf towards the Bill Rock, they observed a large whale surface on at least 4 occasions, that was in the 30-60ft length bracket; clearly too large for a minke whale. Its surface behaviour suggests a species that was creating a lot of disturbance and then several of the surfers saw it clearly lift its tail fluke vertically out of the water, before diving. The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group, after discussing the encounter with Mark during validation are confident that this is a humpback whale.

The Road to the Bay
Behind the house there's the road to the bay. If you look carefully the sea, you may find oysters.

Looking Forward to the Spring
This is the moment we're looking for: when the frost recede and the first shoots come out of the ground.
