Newport

Highlight • Settlement

(Heritage Town & Greenway Hub) This picturesque town, also known as Ballyveaghan, is the geographical heart of the Great Western Greenway and the ancestral home of Princess Grace of Monaco. Newport (pop. approx. 600) sits at the northeastern corner of Clew Bay, where the Black Oak River meets the sea, and is renowned for its rich maritime history and fishing. For cyclists on the Wild Atlantic Way, it is a crucial stop with essential amenities such as supermarkets (incl. Centra), cosy pubs, and a unique atmosphere where the rugged Nephin Beg Mountains and the bay's 365 islands converge.

Newport Stone Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This robust 18th-century stone arch bridge forms the heart of Newport, spanning the Black Oak River. Unlike the higher railway viaduct, this bridge connects the village's main streets, offering a beautiful low perspective on the tidal flow and the colourful facades of the quay. The bridge is named after Princess Grace of Monaco, whose ancestors hailed from the nearby Drumilra valley, and it marks the transition from the sheltered river estuary to the open waters of Clew Bay.

The Guinness Lodge (Grainne Uaile Pub)

Highlight • Pub

Located at the foot of the Seven Arches Viaduct in Newport, this award-winning pub is named after the 16th-century pirate queen Grace O'Malley (Granuaile). The lodge serves as an essential cycling hub along the Great Western Greenway (mile marker 11 from Westport) and is renowned for its authentic Irish cuisine featuring local seafood from Clew Bay. The interior breathes maritime history and offers a strategic resting point with secure bike storage before the route embarks on the 18 km climb and descent towards Mulranny.
