One might think that there is little to say about a small town in North Mayo. This tour will change that. The tour takes two hours but there are so many stories that the tour could take much longer!

Very enjoyable walking tour. Saw parts of Belmullet that we wouldn’t have seen on our own. Very welcoming and informative guide.

Bill Duffy was our tour guide and he was wonderful! I wanted to learn more about the area where my grandparents were born and this tour did not disappoint. Bill, from Black Sod spent time before researching the history and was a wealth of knowledge. He gave me a good picture of what it was like for my Great grandfather, who was born in 1812, and my grandfather who was the last of 16 children born in 1876. So thankful I signed up for this tour!

The whole tour was brilliant, the knowledge of the local area and well beyond couldn’t be faulted. Would highly recommend whether it’s your first time to visit or like me you have visited quite a few times.
