Octagon

Fodor's Review:

Today Westport's streets radiate from its central Octagon, where an old-fashioned farmers' market is held on Thursday mornings; look for work clothes, harnesses, tools, and children's toys for sale. Traditional shops—ironmongers, drapers, and the like—line the streets that lead to the Octagon, while a riverside mall is shaded by tall lime trees. At Westport's Quay, about 2 km (1 mi) outside town, a large warehouse has been attractively restored as vacation apartments, and there are some good bars and decent restaurants.
