Estate Grounds & Woodland Walks

Stroll 430 acres of woodland, lakeside paths and evolving gardens with views across Clew Bay towards Croagh Patrick. The grounds are open year-round via Quay Gate (24/7 in season; 7:30am–10:30pm off-season), Golf Course Road gate, and Church Lane gate (pedestrian). A peaceful way to experience the estate's wild beauty without an activity ticket.

Westport House (Closed for Restoration)

The Georgian Palladian house, built in the 1730s by the Browne family on the foundations of Grace O'Malley's castle, is one of Ireland's few remaining privately-owned historic houses. It opened to the public in 1960 but is currently closed for a major renovation as part of a €40M redevelopment. Guided tours may resume on limited dates — check the estate website before visiting. Completion of the full project is targeted for 2028.
