The Mulranny Rail Trail: From Fern Hill to Clew Bay

Follow the vanished Achill branch railway through Mulranny — from the fern-covered hillside that gave the village its Irish name, past the site of its former station and the grand railway hotel built to sell the view, out onto the Great Western Greenway, and down to the Blue Flag strand looking across the drumlin islands of Clew Bay. Looking for things to do in Mulranny? Start here — no car, no ticket, no booking.
