A €1m house of learning on Mayo’s scenic coastline
Near the shores of Clew Bay, the country residence has functioned as a language school for more than two decades, bringing generations of students to learn in Mayo
After journeying along Clew Bay in Mayo for the first time in 1842, William Thackeray described the stretch of water as presenting “the most beautiful view I ever saw in the world”. Carts and horses were heading back from Westport market, and the islands beyond seemed dressed in gold and crimson as the sun began to set.
