Westport is a very underrated town. Tour books don't do it justice. It is beautiful in itself but also a gateway to some of the most incredible scenery in Ireland. Music and food are incredible.
Lovely video. I'm from nearby Castlebar, although my dad is from Westport and still lives in the town, and for years worked in O'Malleys, viewable at 7:15. Would definitely recommend it for a wee break, as you can see, there's no shortage of lovely bars and restaurants there. Blousers is indeed a lovely place for a quiet pint, as is Danny's on the Castlebar Road. In summer time, the Quay area is about a 15 minute walk out from the Octagon, and has some lovely places down there, (am personally fond of the Creel and the Towers) and also, of course, Westport House. Carrowbeg Stores also does the best ice cream in town, out on the road to Castlebar. Would also recommend nearby Newport, which is like a quieter Westport, less mobbed with tourists; and Castlebar, if you want to take in a GAA match or do some clothes shopping. There are a few nice Guinness pubs there, particularly John McHale's (home of the meejum) and Mick Byrne's.
Many thanks, all these tips from a local (practically) will be invaluable to Naked Ireland followers. Really sorry I didn’t head into Blouser’s now, but I did make a film on Newport, which I’ll release at some point in the future. Thanks for watching and contributing.
That bridge was brutal for holding up traffic in the day. I do believe Westport also has a claim to the highest ratio of ' pub's per person ' on the planet. lol that would make it popular! All the young uns live down the road in Galway lol 😂 that's good enough!
Lovely video of a lovely town. We've been coming to Westport once or twice a year since 2017. The video does justice to how pretty the town is, but the real treasures here are the people. Just a great bunch of folks, as friendly and welcoming as you could hope for. We stay down at the Quay a bit outside of town at a great place called The Helm. Good food, good drink, good company. I could go on but I'll just say go there and experience it for yourself. And the narrator was right -- he should have stopped in Blousers for a pint!
So glad you’re enjoying the channel Tom. Now that you’re retired maybe you’ll visit Mayo one of these days? As you’ve seen, it’s a beautiful county. Many thanks for watching.
Father's side came from Mayo, Geraghtys who moved away from Westport in 1919. The Mocha Beans cafe across from the Octagon was formerly Geraghty's Bar, last run by John Joe. Was still titled so but closed when I took the same stroll with my son's ashes in 2014. Thanks for doing so with a camera and narration, am enjoying your series and just subscribed.
Yes, I had heard the term Covies. The west is Ireland’s absolute pride and joy as far as I’m concerned. There’s nothing bad about it. The countryside, the beaches, it’s lakes, mountains, towns and it’s people - all amazing. I realise that probably sounds idealistic and romantic coming from a Belfast person. But it’s how I feel as an ‘informed’ visitor to the west. But I know what you mean about taking it for granted. I do it re: Belfast. People who don’t live there are always telling me how great it had become in the last few years.
The West is a great place to grow up, low crime rates, relatively clean and green and close to the sea. Only thing is that there aren't many jobs outside of the major centres.
Another great relaxing and informative video! My wife and I passed through Westport on our way to Achill Island last year. A little shopping and a coffee. Beautiful quite town like most of the west coast!
@@nakedireland Haha. West Belfast this last 45 years and I do love it, especially the people but I’d be away to Westport in a heartbeat. Hey, if I hit the jackpot, I’ll get you a good gargle. 😆
Nice video. Hope you went down to Westport Quays as its really lovely there and you get a great view of the Reek. I personally rate Co Mayo as the best county in Ireland and naturally Westport is the best town in Ireland. We go every year and even in the winter, it still has a lot to offer. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers, Tony
Westport is s terrific town one of the best in all of Ireland in also a beautiful area of nearby Connemara tourmeheady Newport Clare island and very nice and friendly people in Westport it deserves its many tidy towns wins
12:25 Blousers is a lovely pub our favourite when We visit Westport. I believe there were two pubs in Westport owned by two different men called Walsh, the owner of that one had the nickname Blouser. Hard to be disciplined when it comes to Westport pubs....🤣🤣🍺🍺🤣🤣
@@nakedireland All the best to You and the Naked Ireland channel for 2025. I forgot to say that a Guinness TV advert was filmed in Blousers (Pat's Bar) maybe 20-25 years ago.
Westport was one of our favorite towns at the end of our first ever visit to Ireland. i chose a "scenic even in bad weather" Airbnb in nearby Murrisk and we returned several times to the lovely town of Westport, rain or shine.
We also stay in Belmullet, Co Mayo and thats right off the beaten path but beautiful also. Small town but worth checking out if your ever up that way, and so is Mulranney.
Many thanks for posting the video .Westport to be honest is my favourite town in Ireland visited on 4 occasions and its people are the most generous and welcoming ive ever met also the town itself is amazing always spotless clean and great place to eat and drink and chill out .Again thanks for bringing back wonderful memories 👏👏👍👍
Wow Brazil, how exotic! I’m a big fan of your Brazilian Bossa. Very cool music. Thanks for watching and commenting, and yes, do come and visit us some day.
Will do! Listen to jorge ben / Trio Mocoto and fall in love with Samba Rock. A movement after Bossa Nova which is truly a gem. Come vista us too. I could see you narrating The town of Tiradentes or Ouro Preto!
Oh Ana, I would LOVE to visit Brazil. I almost did once, had planned to go to Sao Paulo, but it fell through. I made it to Chile last year, but that’s the closest I got. I’ll check out that music.
Westport is a lovely town, very touristy, and with plenty of bars and cafes, as well as shops to buy some Irish goodies to take home (although for clothes Westport is a bit pricey compared to some other places). Have been there a number of times and it's a great location as a base to explore the rest of Mayo and into Galway. I know it might be impossible for videos like this maybe you could include a couple of old black and white pictures of the town to see a comparison of how the town with the basic Georgian buildings has been made into a masterpiece and offer a comparison to the colourful modern town with the buildings all done up and in colour it, as well as some modern developments to make the place tourist friendly and walkable. It is also amazing to see the horse and carts, dirt roads through the town and the buildings less done up. Just a thought, but a great video was it is.
@@nakedireland I only mentioned it as a year or two after having visited I came across some old pictures and was astounded. I also mention it as another channel I follow has done since videos where they merge old pictures into new ones. I'm not saying that's possible, it looks like a lot of work and needing to line up pictures, but even just showing a town as it was back in the day night be worth doing at some stage, only when appropriate of course.
That was great Greg! I felt very thirsty and a tad hungry by the end of the walk, so I hope you manage a pint by the end of the walk. I passed through West Port back in 1980. Though it was a huge favorite of my Belfast relatives. I enjoyed the clean wet streets. Great looking building's, and though its cold there , Im sweltering through another heat wave. Spotted one dodgie parked car! No graffiti too, thats a big plus! Cheers, and all the best.
I am born irish but emigrated to California usa…. I retuned to Ireland after 30 yrs and went to Westport. Now i am considering moving there for good. I wonder the cost of buying an apartment .
Hmmm, not sure I have any real real estate knowledge. I think you should maybe scout out the various estate agent websites who operate in that area. But you obviously like the town?
I recently did some filming in Limerick - it’s a much changed city I’m sure since your youth. But yes, the countryside and towns like Ennis, Westport etc certainly have their charm. Good luck with the search, I hope you find your dream home.
@@nakedireland i am a prof bodybuilder.. former MR. Ireland. I will looki into open a gyn in west point. I never liked Limerick.. very rough aggressive people.
I’m afraid I’d be no expert there, and wouldn’t want to send people to hotels that I couldn’t personally recommend from experience. I suppose Tripadviser has reviews, although I admit, not always reliable ones.
@@nakedireland I love your Perspective on the West, different from us local yokels who take it for granted, Westport people are called Coveys and Castlebar people are called fishheads :-) I wont bore u with the why
Of two beautiful towns, one south (Kinsale in County Cork) and one much further north (Westport in County Mayo), which would say would be more accommodating to an American retiree seeking permanent residency?
That would be very hard to say. I think you’d find either of them accommodating. Perhaps a visit first might be a good idea, to get a feel for each place? Maybe a 2 week holiday. A week in each place? Sounds a bit luxurious I know, but it is a big step you’re planning.
I have heard of Westport but not been there, yet 😊. I prefer visiting out of season and agree if you like it then and in the rain then you truly like it. The town looks intersting and well worth a visit. Reminded me a bit of Enniscorthy with the twin bridges and river through the town. I had to laugh when you said you can't visit all the pubs, shame on you 😂😂
@@nakedireland I hope to visit one day, who knows I might even make a video of it 😂. I was gutted you didn't go into Blousers 😔, you let the side down 😝 😂 😂
Anyone know the full translastion of Cathair na Mairt? Town of the Market of the beeves or something some covey told me once, asked a Covey once what he thought of Castlbar and he said Staball at one end fuckall at the other :-) this is why us fishheads dont like Coveys
It’s Springfield and Shelbyville, essentially. Westport has always been the prettier town, while Castlebar had more economic development, mostly factories. Alas a lot of places closed down in the last recession and it hurt Castlebar badly. I would still say there’s some element of co-dependence between the two towns, with a lot of Fishheads socializing in Westport, while a lot of coveys would come into Castlebar to do the big shop or to go to the Bowling Alley or McHale Park for Mayo games. PS: Eddie makes reference to “Staball”, which is a hill in the town. During the Races of Castlebar, the locals followed the French troops into battle, banging their pots and pans and shouting “Stab them all” in reference to the British garrison, hence the name.
It was winter when I filmed and so it got dark early, but I think there's kind of a nice atmosphere Clare? The town's layout dates back to its Georgian period. It's not uncommon for Georgian towns to have this kind of planning - think of the New Town in Edinburgh for example. So the layout is a colonial thing, nothing to do with Irish vernacular architecture.
Of USA. Australia, New Zealand and Belgium my daughter and her family have made Ireland their new home and have settled in Westport. Every day is a new experience and it just gets better every day for them. The people of Westport are so friendly and supportive. Our 9 year old granddaughter has even taken to learning the Irish language. Looking forward to hopefully visiting them soon
Sounds lovely, and since Irish would be obligatory in school it doesn’t surprise my that your granddaughter is learning the language. But it’s kinda cool for young people to speak Irish too, so hopefully she’ll stick with it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Beautiful little film, cosy and intimate. Nicely narrated. Westport looks almost dreamy, like a film-set.
I’m certain it must have been used in many films? I’m sure someone will let us know.
Westport is a very underrated town. Tour books don't do it justice. It is beautiful in itself but also a gateway to some of the most incredible scenery in Ireland. Music and food are incredible.
I totally agree with that, and many thanks for watching.

It is a bit hard to view as it is rather dark. Why is Westport a planned town?
It was winter when I filmed and so it got dark early, but I think there's kind of a nice atmosphere Clare? The town's layout dates back to its Georgian period. It's not uncommon for Georgian towns to have this kind of planning - think of the New Town in Edinburgh for example. So the layout is a colonial thing, nothing to do with Irish vernacular architecture.
shame Mayo hosting, what appears to be, only two pizza "restaurants" when they could prob source local fresh seaproduce and whip up something tasty?
Seafood pizza?
There is plenty of seafood in the local restaurants, chowder is a big thing, think The West pub won a national title for theirs at one point.
Chowder Champion, that has a ring to it!
They might have over done it with the prettification.
It doesn't even look real now. . .
Sorry Westport. ∆
Maybe. I think it’s still nice though.
