About Tourmakeady
Tourmakeady is a small Gaeltacht village in south Mayo, set between the shores of Lough Mask and the slopes of the Partry Mountains, close to the Galway border. The area is known for its strong Irish-speaking community, traditional music heritage and unspoilt scenery, with a distinctly rural and close-knit feel. Daily life centres around the village cluster of homes, church and community facilities, while larger shops and services are found in nearby Ballinrobe and Westport. Families are served locally by Tourmakeady National School, with secondary options typically in Ballinrobe or Westport, both within reasonable driving distance. The R300 links the area to Westport and Clonbur, and Mayo Local Link services provide rural bus connections, while Westport railway station offers mainline services to Dublin. Outdoor living is a major draw: residents enjoy hillwalking in the Partry Mountains, fishing on Lough Mask and woodland walks near the Maumtrasna trailhead. Overall, Tourmakeady suits those seeking a peaceful, scenic lifestyle with a strong sense of culture and community, while remaining connected to the wider Mayo region.
