Portacloy in north-west Mayo is off the beaten track, even by Irish standards. Wild, rugged cliffs blanketed in purple heather and beautifully rich grasslands. This area takes effort to get to, and there is no infrastructure for tourists other than being at one with nature. Belmullet, the nearest village about 20km away is where you should base yourself, and sample the unique Irish night life.
