    Hi all apart from the amazing beach and the pier walk can anyone recomment places to visit to do walks that would be suitable for a dog willing to travel either side of Enniscrone like Ballina/Killala etc.

    Many thanks in advance :)

    My mom's side is from near Killala. Killala is best for Pubs. Ballina for Shopping is Okay. Pubs / Restaurants that are open can get pretty full.

    I was in Ballina in October 2022, arriving down on an RPSI ( railway presevervation society of ireland) train with craven coaches and the passengers went to a pub restaurant The Loft. It was very busy reason Other establishments were shut.

    Try Sligowalks.ie or Alltrails.com for some hiking tracks/loops. There seem to be a couple of walks in and around Enniscrone on the Sligo Walks website. If I was looking in that area myself, I'd probably try the walk around Lough Easkey or Belleek Woods

    Caveat - I don't know if all of these are dog-friendly

    It might be worth also asking in the Mayo forum for walks around Killala or Ballina

    It's not dog-friendly (at least I'm assuming the dog would run a mile!) - but don't miss out on a seaweed bath while you're there!!

    Where is O'Connors Castle?

    Do you mean Enniscrone show in Castleconnor?

    Probably too late now but the river walk on Easkey to the castle and then on to Munnellys cove is a nice walk, it is on a road so dog on a lead.

    Dromore West also has a nice river walk and if you turn left when you come out onto the road you can do 5km, it's the route for Darkness Into Light.

    There's the Warren Walk, on the Quay Road between Enniscrone and Ballina.
