Tour Price: £979.00 per person
Your Holiday Centre
Few places combine natural beauty and 18th-century elegance quite like Westport. Located along the Wild Atlantic Way in a rugged corner of County Mayo. Sitting pretty under the watchful eye of Croagh Patrick, Westport is pure charm. Wander along the Mall, a delightful tree-lined promenade with chunky stone bridges that arc over the waters of the Carrowbeg River, and it's easy to imagine what this town must have been like in the 18th century. Designed and created as a place to live for the workers and tenants of John Brown from Westport House in the 1780's, the streets reverberate with history, and the colourful shop fronts give it a surprisingly jolly appearance.

Day 3: Day at Leisure
Today you have a chance to explore Westport town by yourselves. With quaint houses and colourful shopfronts, lively pubs and a tree-lined river that runs right through its centre. Westport is one of the most charming towns in Ireland. Maybe visit Westport House, boasting an incredible location surrounded by parkland and with views of Clew Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, the 18th-century house and gardens serve up everything from exquisite interiors to a hawk walk through forest trails at the Birds of Prey Centre. Of course, before John Brown arrived, Pirate Queen Grace O'Malley ruled these lands, and the house you see today was built on the foundations of one of her castles – you can even tour the dungeons. Entrance from (19 Euros).

We continue through Doo Lough Valley, to the picturesque village of Leenaune, then to Kylemore Abbey, a neo-gothic castle mirrored in its own lake, which was originally owned by a millionaire and is now run by Benedictine Nuns. Its walled Victorian gardens are charming.
We retrace our steps back to Killary Harbour, where our boat awaits us for a 1.5 hour cruise in Ireland's only fjord. From here, we continue back to the hotel.
