Croagh Patrick is 764 m (2507 ft) high mountain, nicknamed 'The Reek' and an important pilgrimage destination, particularly the last Sunday in July when thousands make the ascent, some barefoot.

The pyramid shaped Croagh Patrick overlooks the village of Murrisk and beyond Clew Bay and its hundreds of islands.

Archaeological surveys have shown the remains of an enclosure encircling the mountain top and dozens of circular huts associated with it, dating from the Bronze Age and Iron Age - the mystic of the mountain goes back along way, well before Christian times, though a chapel or oratory has existed on the summit of Croagh Patrick since the 5th century CE (AD).
