Westport & Clew Bay Areas of Interest

Westport is located at the foot of Croagh Patrick and close to many blue flag beaches for energising walks, swims or surfing. The sea angling grounds of Clew Bay are recognised as being some of the best in Europe and Westport's 18 hole championship golf course draws many visitors. We would be happy to make a golf reservation for guests or arrange horse riding on one of our local beaches or fishing with a local gillie...endless opportunities to enjoy the country and seaside surroundings!
