Westport: The perfect location for an adventurous weekend

Caroline Delaney says coastal Westport is perfect for activities such as cycling, kayaking and hiking, and resting too, just before winter sets in.

EVEN its name sounds like a holiday, and while Westport has been voted one of the best places to live in Ireland, it’s also great for a quick break.

Westport is close to gorgeous coastline, but is not just a bucket-and-spade kinda town. There’s plenty to do here on a crisp, autumn day, on a weekend away before winter bites.
