The other routes from the same place

These start within eight hundred metres of the same point and share parts of their length. The arrows are what tell them apart on the ground, so each is named with its colour here rather than shown only in it.

Questions people ask

How long is Croagh Patrick Pilgrim Trail?

Measured along the line OpenStreetMap draws, 2.2 km. No published figure has been found for it.

Where does Croagh Patrick Pilgrim Trail start?

The map does not name a start. The line begins 280 m from Murrisk, which is where the map is drawn from rather than a waymarked trailhead.

Is this the same as the other walks from here?

No. 3 waymarked routes start within eight hundred metres of the same point: Croagh Patrick Pilgrim Trail at 2.2 km, Murrisk Pier Loop (blue) at 3 km, Murrisk Loop at 3.2 km. They share parts of their length and are told apart by the arrows, so the one you follow is the one whose colour you keep to.

Why is the line broken on the map?

The route comes back from OpenStreetMap in 2 pieces, which means the ways somebody drew for it do not meet end to end. The gaps are left as gaps here rather than bridged with a straight line, because a line drawn across a gap is an invitation to walk where there is no path. On the ground the route is almost certainly continuous; the map is what is incomplete.

Is it open today?

This page holds no closure notice for it, which is not the same as knowing it is open. Cliff paths and forest routes close after storms and during works, and those notices are published by the operator rather than on the map. The link above goes to whoever manages it.

Where this comes from

The route: The line, the name, the colour and the waymark are the OpenStreetMap relation relation/15540685, and can be corrected there.
Worked out here: The measured distance, whether the line is continuous, which settlement is nearest the start and every distance on this page are this site’s own calculations from that relation, last built on 2026-09-20. No climb is measured here, and no time is estimated: a walking time appears only where an operator publishes one.
