The Greenway
OUR EXPERIENCE WHILE ON SET
OUR ADDITIONAL TIP
Looking to maintain your fitness on vacation? I definitely recommend checking out the trails on the Greenway and rent a bike from Clew Bay Bike Hire. The sites along the Greenway are breathtaking and well worth the visit. The biking path was created on top of an old railway track that runs along the waterfront, from Achill to Westport. Your family will enjoy getting some fresh air and you may want to stop off at along the way to have a picnic in a beautiful setting.

Croagh Patrick Stables
Murrisk, Westport, Ireland
Horseback riding can be a great workout and we had the opportunity to try it first hand with some friends at the Croagh Patrick Stables. We had hoped to go for a nice ride along the beach, but the one day the weather didn’t cooperate was during our horseback ride. I know what you are thinking, we were pretty lucky that we only had one really bad day of weather! However, we made the most of our time at the stables and enjoyed getting to know the horses and the staff members.
ONE MORE TIP FOR THE ROAD:
If horseback riding isn’t your cup of tea, you might enjoy a hike to the top of Croagh Patrick, which is considered the holiest mountain in Ireland. Croagh Patrick is a destination for pilgrimages, but is also a very popular hiking trail for fitness lovers. It takes the average person about 2 hours to ascend the mountain and about 1 ½ hours to descend so plan accordingly, especially with children! Pack snacks and water and pace yourselves.
