Westport

The pretty town of Westport on the shores of Clew Bay in Mayo is one of the most sought-after places to head for a weekend away.

The historic Georgian-style town is a lively place that charms people with its tree-lined streets and vibrant pub scene. Westport’s fine location means that you easily explore many of Mayo’s best attractions as well as further afield on the Wild Atlantic Way. From Achill Island and Croagh Patrick close to town, to Connemara in Galway further to the south, there’s plenty to do from the coast to the tops of mountains.
