Westport House

Westport House is an 18th-century Georgian manor set on extensive grounds overlooking Clew Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and Croagh Patrick mountain. The property combines the original residence with modern visitor facilities and outdoor recreation areas.

The Palladian mansion was designed by Richard Cassels in the 1730s on the site of an earlier O'Malley castle. Its construction marked a shift in the region's architecture and the evolution of the family's status.

The rooms display collections of English and Irish silver, Waterford glass, and period furnishings that reflect the artistic tastes of different generations. The interiors tell the story of the families who lived here through their decorative choices.

Visitors can explore the house through guided tours or participate in outdoor activities at the Adventure Centre, which features various adventure attractions. Multiple dining options on the grounds range from casual café fare to wood-fired pizza.

The property includes a Glamping Village with Clew Bay views, offering overnight stays in bell tents and access to a large adventure net park. This combination allows visitors to experience both comfortable camping and outdoor play in one location.
