History

Seven Arches Viaduct Burrishoole Abbey Newport at Sunset Rockfleet Castle Nearby mountains

Newport Village

The picturesque coastal town of Newport has as its most distinctive feature the elegant seven arch viaduct dominating the townscape. It was built in 1892 to carry the Westport-Achill railway line.

The railway no longer exists but the viaduct has been restored and offers superb views of the estuary and the river Black Oak.

St Patrick's Catholic Church towers high above the town, a good example of the Irish Romanesque style. It is particularly notable for the stained glass windows by Harry Clarke.

The stately edifice of Newport House is visible across the estuary when approaching Newport from Westport.

The immediate area is rich in history and archaeology. Some highlights are the 15th century Burrishoole Abbey and Carrigahowley Castle once a stronghold of Granuail, the pirate queen.

Newport is the starting point for four magnificent loop walls.

Travelling from Newport to Mulrany with it’s beautiful blue flag beaches, you can visit Letterkeen Forest, with its 3500 year-old Bronze Age burial site.

Princess Grace's grandfather was born near Newport and she and Prince Rainier were frequent visitors to the area, enjoying its picturesque surroundings and many activities.
