Ballycroy

Ireland

Ballycroy sits where the Nephin Beg Mountains drop into the Atlantic, a small Mayo village that's the gateway to Ireland's largest national park with its 11,000 hectares of bog and mountain wilderness. The N59 brings you here, 45 kilometers west from Westport through Newport or 35 kilometers south from Belmullet, winding through some of the country's most isolated terrain past stone walls and scattered farms. There are about 5 public fast EV chargers, but you'll want to plan your stops carefully given the remote location. The village is home to Ireland's most westerly post office, serving this isolated community where traditional Irish culture runs deep.
