Miles of golden beaches, rugged Atlantic coastline, heather-clad mountains and natural unspoilt landscapes as far as the eye can see - that's Belmullet, the jewel in the heart of the Erris peninsula. For one of the best 'get away from it all' holiday destinations in Ireland, Belmullet is high on the list of contenders.

A retreat for outdoor enthusiasts, there are numerous healthy activities and pursuits including hill-walking, cycling, horse-riding, boat trips to the islands, sea-angling, lake and river fishing, to name but a few.
