Tóin an tSeanbhaile

Tóin an tSeanbhaile stretches across 846 hectares of land at sea level, featuring shallow plains encircled by low hills along the northeastern coast of Achill Island.

The 1911 census documented 253 residents in this settlement, which later decreased to 113 inhabitants as demographic changes impacted the region over decades.

The settlement preserves the Irish language through its position in the Mayo Gaeltacht, where residents maintain traditional communication in their daily interactions.

The Valley Loop Walk extends 8.6 kilometers through the area with an elevation gain of 52 meters, requiring approximately two hours to complete.

Four lakes - Lough Gall, Loch na mBreac, Lough Doo, and Sruhill Lough - contain substantial populations of brown trout within the settlement boundaries.
