About Westport
Westport is a handsome, purpose-planned town in County Mayo, set near Clew Bay with Croagh Patrick providing a dramatic backdrop to the south. Its tree-lined streets, colourful Georgian buildings and canals give the centre a distinctive character, while surrounding neighbourhoods range from established residential estates to quieter rural fringes. Living here offers a strong balance between everyday convenience and access to the outdoors, with primary and secondary schools, medical services, supermarkets and independent shops all close to the town centre. Westport Train Station provides rail services towards Castlebar, Athlone and Dublin, while local and regional buses connect the town with Mayo and Galway; the N5 also makes road travel straightforward. The town is known for its cafés, restaurants and lively pubs, particularly around Bridge Street, Shop Street and the Octagon, with a broad choice of casual and more formal dining. Westport Leisure Centre, Westport House estate and nearby beaches and walking routes support an active lifestyle, while the Great Western Greenway runs towards Newport and Achill. Residents also benefit from sports clubs, music and community groups, and landmarks including Westport House, Westport Harbour and the tree-lined Mall.
