A new, illustrated guide to the history and antiquities of one of Ireland's most interesting counties. It includes visits to all the most popular towns and villages, the islands, the abbeys and places of pilgrimage, as well as notes on prehistory and history, including the Year of the French, the days of landlordism, famine and eviction, the Land League and the Anglo-Irish War.

The visitor to Mayo, whether from elsewhere in Ireland or overseas, will have their visit enriched and their enjoyment enhanced by this invaluable book. At the same time, as it has been written to be read and consulted again and again, "The Heritage of Mayo" will be found interesting and useful even by those who have not (yet is the word, we hope) been to Mayo.
