Ireland
- Sightseeing - Mayo
County Mayo is surrounded by Clew Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
The beautiful landscape of high cliffs and mountains offers a great
variety of attractions, and the area is also famous for the rich
salmon fishing to be had in the River Moy.
The largest town is Ballina, which each July hosts the annual Ballina
Street festival - a local celebration of music, song, theatre, art,
and Irish heritage.
