Looking for a hidden gem in Westport?
Thomas, Head of Culinary at @westporthouse shares his favourite hidden gem in the area.
Clew Bay is well known for its views, but did you know one of its islands is reachable by a hidden causeway that floods at high tide? 🌊
While this might be an exciting new place to visit, be sure to check the tide times if you visit so you don’t get stranded.
