Visitors and locals alike can avail of a wide variety of leisure pursuits in the town and surrounding area.

Angling

Kiltimagh could be described as being somewhat of an "island", for there is a bridge on each of the approach roads to the town. The Pollagh, Glore and Gweestion, offer good brown trout fishing and are all tributaries of the River Moy, a mere 20 minutes drive away. Kiltimagh is in a good central location for the plentiful salmon and trout lakes and rivers of Mayo.

There is great pike fishing too and Kiltimagh has hosted a number of National Pike Angling Federation Championships and a high degree of satisfaction was expressed, with the fishing and the hospitality experienced by the participants. Fishing Guides are available locally.

Equestrian

Enjoy the great outdoors with a trek around Sliabh Cairn. Visit an equestrian centre where even the most nervous beginner is provided with suitable instruction and horses.
