A beautiful area of rural communities stretching from Balla to Murrisk, at the foot of Croagh Patrick, “Ireland’s Holy Mountain”. Steeped in antiquity, the unspoiled countryside is liberally sprinkled with churches, Celtic artifacts and historical sites. The Tóchar Phádraig pilgrim route, which links these townlands and villages for a distance of 55km., is the ancient pilgrim pathway to Croagh Patrick.
