Croagh Patrick
The Croagh Patrick Information Centre is situated in Murrisk on the Pilgrim's Path at the base of Croagh Patrick and opposite the National Famine Monument. Croagh Patrick is 5 miles from the picturesque town of Westport and its conical shape soars majestically above the surrounding countryside. Magnificent views of Clew Bay and the surrounding south Mayo countryside are spectacular from all stages of the ascent of the mountain.

Knock Folk Museum
Knock Folk Museum documents the story of the Knock Apparition of 1879 and places it in the context of life at that time. The development of Knock Shrine and the life and times of the late Msgr James Horan are given a special place in the Museum.
