Monasteries of the Moy

Monasteries of the Moy

The Monasteries of the Moy Greenway is a 14km walking and cycling route linking the historic Towns of Ballina and Killala. The route starts in Ballina in Belleek Woods and runs through the forest and its myriad of off-road tracks and trails.

Belleek is one of the largest urban woodlands in Europe, and within this mixed woodland, you’ll find historical sites of interest and curiosities including the Ice House, the Mausoleum, the lime kiln, the old famine wall, the stone quay, and of course Belleek Castle. You may also catch a glimpse of Ireland’s native red squirrel, a protected species, translocated here in 2007 and now thriving.
