Om

Raske fakta: Byens trerekke, The Mall, ble bygget på gjenvunnet elvemyrland på slutten av 1700-tallet og har nå over 200 bøketrær. Tre fungerende broer krysser Carrow Beg-elven innenfor en 200-meters strekning, hver med en annen utsikt over de fargerike butikkfasadene speilet i vannet.

Høydepunkter: Ved Octagon, byens åttekantede sentrale plass, markerer en 9 meter høy granittpyramide stedet der det gamle markedskorset en gang sto, hvor bønder handlet buskap. Hver lørdag morgen selger lokale fiskere fortsatt nylig fanget makrell og krabbe fra baksiden av varebilene sine på samme sted, en tradisjon som strekker seg generasjoner tilbake.

Insidertips

  • Skip the chain restaurants on the main street and head to Matt Malloy's pub for live traditional music sessions that start around 9pm.
  • The best photo spot is from the stone footbridge beside the old grain mill, where the green and yellow shopfronts line up perfectly with Croagh Patrick behind them.
  • Visit the Saturday morning market before 10am to avoid queues at the seafood and artisan bread stalls.
  • If it's raining, duck into the Westport Book & Art Shop on Shop Street, a warren of seven small rooms filled with local history titles and prints.
