The Foxford Way is a
long distance walk which complements the Mayo Western Way, Mayo's longest walk,
extending it south through the Ox Mountains, from Foxford to Staide and around
Lough Cullin. It is an innovative walk with a rich variety of flora and fauna
and exceptional archaeological and historical content.The route completes a
circular tour of North East Mayo.
The route goes from Foxford to
Kilsheshnan to Straide to Derryhick and back to Foxford again. The total
distance is 56 miles with the longest stage being from Kilsheshnan to Straide, a
distance of 12.5 miles. Like the Mayo Western Way the Ox Mountains provides the
highest peak on the walk at 1177 ft.
"It has been a pleasure working with you and your company. I really appreciate your professionalism, tourism expertise, and your patience and willingness in helping me enjoy a great vacation. Rest assured, when I visit Ireland again (and I will), you will be the first person I call. I will also refer you to people I know who may travel the same path." -- Mak
