Overview

Just outside Westport, Co. Mayo, sits Croagh Patrick at 765m (2,507ft).

Famed for being the spot where St. Patrick banished all the snakes from Ireland and fasted for 40 days and nights. A little church still stands on the top today. Croagh Patrick is a challenging and rewarding climb. It holds stunning views in all directions. Many Pilgrims from all over Ireland and the world come to climb each year and stand in awe of Clew bay and the surrounding Irish coast line.

Croagh Patrick rises high from sea level to 2,507 ft.

Terrain is mixed rock and dirt, slippy, steep and rocky. You need proper hiking boots, equipment and take your time on this long beautiful walk up Ireland’s holy mountain.
