About
Sinead’s first trail is a cycle on the Greenway from Castlebar to the National Museum at Turlough starting at Lough Lannagh. Lough Lannagh is a wonderful amenity for Castlebar with lovely views of Mayo’s most famous landmark, Croagh Patrick. The Greenway has plenty to offer cyclists and walkers along the route through tree-lined countryside habitats and it takes Sinead into Turlough Park. The Parkland of 37 acres of lake and woodland walks date back to the 19th century and was laid out by the Fitzgerald family at Turlough House. A branch of the family lived in the Victorian Gothic house until 1991 when it became part of the National Museum of Country Life.
