  • Ballycastle is a village in County Mayo, Ireland, situated northwest from Ballina, near Mayo's north coast in the West of Ireland. Ballycastle is also on the edge of an Irish speaking area called a Gaeltacht. Ballycastle is situated on the rugged coast of North Mayo, with its northern boundary exposed to the wild Atlantic ocean. To the west of the town are the Stags of Broadhaven (600 million years old), to the east lies Killala Bay while to the south are the towns of Crossmolina and Ballina. It was at the Céide Fields that the first settlers began to farm the slopes of the Behy/Glenurla hillside over 5000 years ago. Ballycastle is host to the annual Healyfest festival. The festival takes place every August Bank holiday weekend and has grown from strength to strength since its inception in 2005. This event attracts bands from all over Ireland and beyond for a weekend of great fun and great music.

  • Ballycastle est un village du comté de Mayo en Irlande, situé au nord-ouest de Ballina, près de la côte nord de Mayo dans l'ouest de l'Irlande. Sa partie nord est exposée à l'océan Atlantique, à l'ouest se trouvent les "Stags of Broadhaven" (des pierres vieilles de 600 millions d'années), à l'est, la baie de Killala, et au sud les villes de Crossmolina et Ballina. Ballycastle a une histoire riche datant d'au moins 5000 ans. Les ancêtres ont laissé des traces évidentes de leur mode de vie au "Céide Fields" où un musée a été construit. La plage locale est située à environ un mile au nord de Ballycastle à l'extrémité sud de la baie Bunatrahir. Les eaux côtières de Ballycastle permettent la plongée sous-marine, qui peut se pratiquer dans de bonnes conditions durant neuf mois de l'année. Dans cette région la vie sous-marine est abondante et les eaux claires offrent une excellente visibilité. Pour les pêcheurs, les eaux regorgent d'une grande variété de poissons : sole, raie, maquereau, lieu jaune, lieu noir, saumon, brême, merlan, morue, hareng…
  • Ballycastle è un piccolo villaggio irlandese posto sulla costa settentrionale del Mayo, al centro della piccola Baia di Bunatrahir e a breve distanza da Killala e Ballina, proprio all'ingresso della vasta area gaeltacht della propria contea. Composto da una popolazione quasi prettamente di pescatori, non è una meta turistica conosciutissima, ma è comunque spessa visitata da turisti e naturalisti per gli splendidi paesaggi sull'Oceano Atlantico e per la vicinanza del complesso megalitico dei Céide Fields e del selvaggio promontorio di Downpatrick Head. La poca fama la rende una località piuttosto isolata, selvaggia e tranquilla, che conserva un clima molto particolare sulla costa impervia e a tratti dominata da considerevoli scogliere specialmente nei giorni non soleggiati. Il centro non va confuso con la ben più nota e grande Ballycastle nell'Irlanda del Nord.
