Westport takes on the world
Destination Westport raises a smile with its fresh campaign to make Mayo the centre of the universe. Comparing Thailand’s Koh Samui Archipelago’s famous 60 islands with Clew Bay’s 365, and the outline of Croagh Patrick with the Great Pyramid of Giza, it also reminds us of the gems we have in this country.
In Mayo these include the 35km Tochar Phádraig pilgrimage walking route, the heavenly sands of Clew Bay, and the Great Western Greenway, bringing you 42km to Achill Island. Oh, and don’t forget Ireland’s only fjord: Killary is right under your nose as well. See for yourselves from €399 for two adults and two children for two nights, including one dinner at the Westport Woods Hotel, westportwoodshotel.com
