Westport House is a magnificent 18th-century country house set within a sprawling estate on the shores of Clew Bay. Built by the Browne family, the house is a fine example of Georgian architecture, with interiors that showcase period furniture, portraits, and family heirlooms. Visitors can take guided tours of the house to learn about its history and the lives of its inhabitants. The estate also features beautifully landscaped gardens, a lake, and woodland walks. In recent years, Westport House has expanded its offerings to include a variety of family attractions, such as a pirate adventure park, a zip line, and a miniature railway. The combination of historic elegance and modern activities makes it a popular destination for all ages.
