Westport is one of Ireland’s major tourist destinations. Located at the South East corner of Clew Bay, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean, the town has many picturesque features. Most notably is its tree-lined, flower decorated, boulevard known as The Mall with several stone bridges over the Carrowbeg River. We also discover the spectacular Connemara coastline and drive along the famous Wild Atlantic Way.
