Westport House

At the south end of Westport's The Mall is a pleasant square, the Octagon. Continuing south from The Mall and bearing right, we come to the entrance to Westport House, seat of the Marquess of Sligo, built by Richard Cassels in 1730-34 and enlarged by James Wyatt, and one of the finest mansions in Ireland. In the Long Gallery the family portraits can be viewed, while the Dining Room is decorated with stucco work.
