      That’s pretty big set of different places… everything from cosmopolitan and sophisticated Ballina to the wilds of the Belmullet peninsula.

      On *average*, though, gorgeous scenery, raw weather, and a higher than average number of sheep.

      My Father, Grandfather and uncles use to buy a lot of cattle in and around that area. For whatever reason my one uncle just absolutely loved Castlebar. And this was in the 70s. No one knew why

      I always expect people from Belmullet to have a distinct hairstyle.

      Rugged, hilly, highest rainfall in the country, beautiful in parts.

      Some of the nicest beaches I’ve seen if only we had the sun.

      Vast areas are heather and gorse covered flatlands or bogs. Most of the rest is pretty hills and lakes.

      Some nice touristy towns if you fancy food and pints.

      Sparsly populated especially the interior of your circled area.

      Friendly folks.

      Some pretty islands just off the coast.

      Depends where you’re coming from but generally speaking 

      High levels of precipitation with frequent rainfall and low light levels

      Low population density 

      Beautiful, wild and very scenic

      Poor agricultural land

      Underdeveloped when compared to the east coast 

      Mainly agricultural and tourist based employment 

      Historically high levels of emigration 

      Can travel a long period of time and get nowhere on the map really

      It’s one of the most beautiful parts of the country. Google „Downpatrick Head“, „Achill Island“, „Westport“.

      A lot of Gaeltacht in there. Stone walls. Muck. Old Ireland. Not a bad place at all.

      Most of the circled area is sparsely populated , best beaches, walks, drives in Ireland. Some of the best towns for a night out and also the best place to live is here also!
      The people are mentally tough, but salt of the earth. Wages are considerably lower and house prices higher than the rest of the country. Population doubles in summer because half the houses are holiday homes and while it’s great , leaves the place very empty come winter.
      I personally love living here

      Beautiful rugged coastline. Scenery as good as Kerry but with fewer tourists.

      Spent quite sometime around Ballina and Foxford. Love the landscape around there, so peaceful. The locals are such genuine people out there too.

      Very raw and beautiful. Lots of bogs, lots of rocks, not a lot of trees but… also lots of trees if you get in from the coast a bit.

      Windy roads and stone walls and sheep.

      Feels…. old somehow? Weathered. Isolated.

       Empty beaches and pretty coves. 

      Reminds me a bit of the Icelandic landscape. (More than any other)

      Towns where the funeral home is also the pub and possibly the shop.

      Weather is … brutal but even that is gorgeous in its own way. Great cloudscapes.

      When Cromwell said to hell or to connacht… i feel like this was the landscape he was thinking of.

      Both my parents are from the area within the circle so I spent a lot of time there growing up.
