Museum of Country Life
In the modern exhibition galleries, immerse yourself in objects, rare archive photography and films that explore Ireland’s rural past and an almost vanished but recent way of life. Next to this, visit a Victorian Gothic mansion overlooking gardens, parkland and woodland.

Foxford Wollen Mills
Foxford Woollen Mills was established on the banks of the River Moy and has been providing for the locals of this Mayo town for over a century. At the working Mill, master craftspeople continue to weave fabric to this day, informed by a very modern aesthetic, but inspired by the stunning landscape of the west coast. The contemporary designs are valued all over the world, respected for their heritage and represent the best in quality and craftsmanship.
Take a guided tour of the Mill to hear the fascinating tale of one woman’s incredible determination and triumph over adversity and learn about techniques that have been passed down through generations.
