Descrição do Produto

Did you know?

  • The Westport-Achill railway line has the dubious distinction of fulfilling the seventeenth-century poet and mystic Brian Rua Ó Cearbháin’s prediction that its first and last trains would carry dead bodies.
  • Bellacorick boasts a musical bridge, designed by cartographer and civil engineer William Bald in 1820. Each parapet slab emits a different musical note when struck with a stone.

Through quaint villages and bustling towns, this compendium of fascinating, strange and entertaining facts takes the reader on a journey through County Mayo and its vibrant past.

Here you will find out about Mayo’s natural history, its myths and legends, its proud sporting heritage – particularly its long-running quest for Sam – and its famous (and occasionally infamous) men and women.

A reliable reference and a quirky guide, The Little Book of Mayo can be dipped into time and again to reveal something new about the people, heritage and secrets of this ancient county.
