Wonderful day cycling from Achill back to Westport. Love the way the Greenway is close to the road in places although protected or segregated, giving you a picture of the vehicle traffic as you're whistling to yourself, gliding along past picture perfect views. The coastline, hillscape, terrain are all stunning, also nice to see the odd bit of local farm activity along the cycle path. At one point a ram literally said hello to us from high up on a rock (that's what we told ourselves anyway!). Stopped in Mulranny and Newport, both perfect stop offs for bit of food or refreshment, and great views of the coastline or river. We brought two kids of 9 years old and the 42km was just about manageable for them, it's mostly flat anyway. But there were plenty of even younger children we passed along the way too. An unforgettable day's cycling. Highly recommended.

I love Achill Island and visit it at least twice a year. There is a lovely drive from Mulranny along by the coast with views of Clare Island & lots of sheep on the road. Keem beach is worth a visit at any time of the year.

Don't let the outside fool you with the narrow doors and groceries in the front of the store. Keep walking back to the bar and you will be rewarded with the freshest pint of Guinness you've ever had complete with the perfect creamy head. We had six in our group and after two weeks of traveling all around Ireland, including the Guinness Storehouse Gravity Bar, we voted the pint we had at Moran's as the BEST in our travels. The locals at the bar were friendly & talkative. Well worth a visit. Sláinte!
