Interest & Activities

We are delighted to recommend some of the many places of interest and activities within our area for you to try and explore….

The Ellison in Castlebar is in the heart of Mayo, just 15 minutes from Westport town it is an ideal base for exploring the west of Ireland.

Co. Mayo is famous for its activities and adventure sports. The Wild Atlantic Way was launched 10 years ago to showcase the coastline from Co. Derry to Co. Cork; from start to finish it unfolds the wonders of nature, the power of the ocean and its imprint on the west coast of Ireland, and the stunning countryside in all its diversity.  It lures surfers and water-sports enthusiasts from around the world.  But don’t just take our word for it – have a look at this incredible video

The natural environment is ideal for walkers, hikers, bikers and explorers. The crystal clear, unspoiled lakes and rivers have long been a draw for fishers and anglers. There’s also top-class golf links for enthusiasts of all standards.

The Ellison is located just away from the hustle and bustle of Castlebar town centre; yet close enough to enjoy browsing around the local shops and cafes or take in a show at the Royal Theatre or the Linenhall Arts Centre.

The west of Ireland is steeped in history and alive with activity, there really is something for everyone and all on your doorstep at The Ellison making us a perfect choice to enjoy the best that the West has to offer.
