Redfoxpress, Mayo

For sheer beauty of the setting, it would be hard to beat that of Redfoxpress. Set in the fabulously picturesque location of Dugort, Achill Island, this is not your classic bookshop — you won't find the latest bestsellers here — but specialises in artist's books, especially those of the artists behind the shop, who also have their studio here. They also sell polaroid cameras. Have a look around — you're bound to find something to pique your curiousity!
