Founded in 1758, Westport is one of the first planned communities in Europe. Public life revolved around two areas: The Quay and the rectangular business district anchored at one end by the mall and Catholic Church on the Carrowbeg River shown above.Bridge Street, which intersects with the river via an arched bridged like the one in the distance, features many of Westport's shops, pubs, and restaurants: It's the center of activity in the town. Here's the foot of Bridge Street, as seen from the river:

Incredibly charming. I LOVE that cobalt blue.
Planned communities go back to 1758? I never knew! It certainly is a charming place.
I love this!!!
The yellow color scheme, in picture 2, really caught my eye.
Really nice pictures.
Westport is a wonderful town. The people here are so friendly, too. Believe me, I feel blessed to be able to come here every year.
Today is shaping up as sunny (although one never knows) and lazy (more certain about that), which usually means sitting outside of Dunning's Pub watching the world go by.
Everything is so colorful!
