Murrisk Mountain Loop

Murrisk Loops
3.5 km - hill walking

This is a moderate walk which climbs towards Croagh Patrick before turning left after the “swing close” gate along a spectacular mountain route. This affords panoramic views over land and sea before passing sites that include fulacht fiadh, the mass rock, ‘banrachs’, lazy beds and the Deer Park wall.
