Looking from Newport House across Clew Bay, guests can enjoy the spectacular scenery which is dominated by Croagh Patrick, one of County Mayo's most famous landmarks. Located six miles west of Westport on the Louisburgh Road, the mountain not only overlooks Clew Bay but the entire Western coastline.

In 441AD, Saint Patrick is said to have spent 40 days and nights praying and fasting on its slopes. Throughout the year people of all ages and of all degrees of devotion, climb up the rock path to the summit. Over 60,000 people make the ascent, starting at Murrisk Abbey. The traditional pilgrimage always takes place on the last Sunday of July each year.
