Westport, Georgian town in County Mayo, Ireland.

The Carrowbeg River flows through the center of Westport, with stone bridges connecting the tree-lined streets of this purposefully designed Georgian settlement.

The town emerged from a 16th-century castle named Cathair na Mart, developing into a planned settlement under the guidance of architect James Wyatt in 1780.

The Westport Music and Arts Festival brings together local and international artists, featuring performances throughout the town's venues and along The Mall.

The Great Western Greenway extends for 42 kilometers from Westport to Achill Island, providing a dedicated path for cyclists and walkers through County Mayo.

Westport House, constructed in 1730, stands on the foundations of Grace O'Malley's castle, offering views across Clew Bay and its 365 islands.
