Route and access notes

A strenuous linear walking route in County Mayo from Balla to Murrisk at the foot of Croagh Patrick, using quiet roads, forestry tracks, field paths and open moorland.

Planning this route

The refreshed connected geometry is 60.0 km, matching Sport Ireland's current 59.9 km listing. The operator grades the route strenuous and suggests three days. Open moorland can be wet, and the route is distinct from the Croagh Patrick summit pilgrimage path.

Access and source limitations

Sport Ireland warns that waymarking, trail surface and trail furniture may have issues at some points. Dogs are not permitted anywhere on this trail. Carry the operator maps, follow local signs and contact trail management if access appears changed.
