Did you know? Westport

Westport is the only town in Ireland to be designed by an architect—James Wyatt created its distinctive octagonal layout in 1780 for the Marquess of Sligo.

Croagh Patrick, Ireland's holiest mountain just 8km away, has been a pilgrimage site for over 1,500 years, with 30,000+ visitors climbing it on Reek Sunday in July.

The town sits on the River Moy, one of Ireland's premier salmon and sea-trout fishing rivers, making it a hub for anglers from across Europe.

Westport is the gateway to Clew Bay, which contains 365 islands—one for each day of the year, according to local legend.

The town's vibrant traditional Irish music scene earned it a reputation as the 'heart of traditional music in the west,' with sessions in pubs most nights.

Westport is home to Westport House, a stately mansion built in 1731 that sits on the site of a 16th-century pirate stronghold belonging to Grace O'Malley.
