Local Tips

Three hours is a comfortable estimate on a normal day. You’ll come out of Dublin on the N4 and then take the N5 west through Roscommon and into Mayo. Traffic in Dublin is the main variable, so if you’re heading for a specific arrival time, factor in a bit of breathing room. The stretch from Castlebar into Westport is among the nicest driving in Connacht.

Westport is one of those Irish towns that earns its reputation. It was planned in the 18th century by James Wyatt, and the layout shows, with a tree-lined octagon at the centre and the Carrowbeg River running through the middle of the town under a series of small bridges. The town is genuinely lively without being overwhelmed by tourism, which is a balance a lot of places in the west struggle to strike.

Croagh Patrick is about 8 kilometres from the town centre. Ireland’s holy mountain has a pilgrimage route to the summit that takes most people two to three hours return, and the views over Clew Bay from the top are as good as any in the country on a clear day. You don’t have to be religious to appreciate the climb.

Clew Bay is right there on your doorstep. The bay is famous for its islands, reportedly one for every day of the year, though locals will cheerfully argue about the exact count. Boat trips run from Westport Quay in season, and the Great Western Greenway, Ireland’s longest off-road cycling and walking trail, runs from Westport along the coast to Achill Island if you want to cover ground at a slower pace.
