"Teach Cruachán is ideally situated for pleasant walks to Keel and Keem Strands and the delightful walk to the Deserted Village. Next time I'm hoping to tackle the slightly more adventurous Croaghaun."                                                                         'Timu_10', London


Walk the Dooagh Loop

Dooagh Looped Walk
Achill is a walker's haven, and Dooagh is the trail head for two of Achill's waymarked walks.  Ciorcal Dhú Acha, the Dooagh National Looped Walk, begins and ends just 50m from Teach Cruachán. It is a low-level walk of approximately 4km through local bogland and countryside.

Walk to the Deserted Village

Deserted Village Walk
A linear walk from Dooagh to the Deserted Village of Slievemore starts 60m away.  It is a low-level 5km walk, and takes in beautiful views of Slievemore and the ocean to the north and south of Achill.  You can return to Dooagh by retracing your steps or via Keel along the main road. Or you can phone Michael to collect you and bring you home!

"Very clean, great food but the best part are the owners. Michael was actually born in the house and still owns it. You feel like you are staying with family. The rooms are nice and it is very safe. If you stay in Achill, this is your place."   Charles C, Texas, USA
