Into The West
An autumn experience shaped by the Mayo landscape
In autumn, Mayo takes on a different character. The air sharpens, the colours deepen and the mountains draw you into a landscape that feels both elemental and alive. From 11th–13th October, Into the West is a two-night experience shaped around this changing season.
Over two days, we take you out into the Mayo landscape for two 3.5-hour hikes in the company of local guide Ged, whose knowledge and stories bring the paths and places around you into focus. Lunch is prepared for the trail each day, with the option of an invigorating sea swim adding a bracing encounter with the Atlantic.
At The Grace, the pace softens. Dinner awaits each evening, followed by a restorative GROUND treatment at Wellness & Spa, designed to ease tired muscles and bring the body gently back into balance. With two nights’ bed and breakfast and a welcome drink on arrival, the experience moves naturally between days in the wild and the quiet pleasure of coming back in.
