Westport house : other attractions

by sourbugger

Westport house operates a 'passport' system, whereby each of it's attractions can be visted once (or sometimes two or three times) during a visit.

The House and grounds are, of course, the main attraction. You will also find a minature railway with dancing monkeys, a smallish water slide, a mini-zoo, pitch and putt, adventure playground and slippery slide.

It makes for a fair afternoon's entertainment for children aged 3-8, but I would think anyone over that age would want something witha bit more 'meat' to it. You won't find anything white-knuckle hidden in the woods here.

The West is Best!

"Westport town"

Westport is a beautiful picturesque little town on the west coast of ireland. It's nestled between the Atlantic and Croagh Patrick so the surrounding scenery is stunning. Not only that, but it has a host of quaint pubs where traditional Irish music is played on a nightly basis. The standard of food and accommodation is also really high, and this year westport has won the Irish Tidy Town award.
