The ride starts at Carrowholly Stables and heads out through the countryside before dropping down onto the open strands of Clew Bay. This is the western edge of County Mayo, where the bay is dotted with islands and Croagh Patrick stands behind you the whole way, the pilgrim mountain that thousands climb barefoot every July.
Keep an eye on the water as you ride the shoreline. Seals haul out on Seal Rock most days, and you'll pass Dorinish Island, the small island John Lennon bought in the 1960s and once planned to live on.
Beginners are welcome, and most of the people on any given ride have little or no experience. Your guide is local and qualified, and gives full instruction before you set off, so you're comfortable in the saddle before you reach the beach. Riders who can rise to the trot will get more out of the coastal stretch. Confident riders can canter across the open strand.
It's a two-hour ride. The pace is yours to set within your group's ability.

Enjoy a two hour relaxed ride along quiet country roads outside Westport, that lead to the wide, open strands of Clew Bay in County Mayo. Along the way, take in breathtaking views of the bay and its many enchanting islands, with the iconic Croagh Patrick, a mountain of deep religious pilgrimage and historical significance, rising proudly in the background.
As you ride along the shoreline, keep an eye out for seals basking on “Seal Rock,” and pass Dorinish Island, pronounced 'Dora Inch' Island locally, once owned by John Lennon of The Beatles fame.
These guided rides are suitable for beginners and riders with little or no experience. Your qualified local guide will provide clear instruction before setting out, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident in the saddle.
Intermediate riders who are happy rising to the trot will also enjoy this scenic coastal trek, with sweeping views across Clew Bay and its islands.
Advanced riders can look forward to a more exhilarating experience!
