Pilgrim's Walk, Croagh Patrick

The pilgrim's walk is an ancient walk that leads from Ballintubber Abbey to the top of "The Reek", a 22-mile journey. The walk is marked by a set of signs which both show the path of the trail, as well as provide some local history. This set of photographs, which were taken a few weeks after the annual pilgrimage (last Sunday of July), shows parts of the walk from Aghagower to Boheh.
