Rockville Bed & Breakfast,
Westport, Co. Mayo. Heritage Tour From Croagh Patrick to Clew Bay. This is the view that Mary Hughes is kind enough to share with guests from her sun room at Rockville. This ‘all inclusive’ scene of mountains, lake, forest and island is framed by Rockville’s own landscaped gardens on a quiet hillside just outside the heritage town of Westport. Working in conjunction with the Clew Bay Heritage Centre and Ballintubber Abbey, Mary has created two suggested itineraries. These provide a great insight into Westport and the Clew Bay area and explore the history of Ballintubber Abbey with the aid of the trained guides there. The Abbey dates back to the 12th century through to today where it is part of the Tóchar Phádraig Pilgrimage experience. The Clew Bay archaeological trail will be led by professional guides from the Clew Bay Heritage Centre who will take you back in time to visit areas of both historical and spiritual interest by way of Churches, Graveyards, Neolithic carvings and other spectacular artefacts and monuments.
