Tóchar Phádraig stretches from Ballintubber Abbey to the top of Croagh Patrick (764 m), the site of St Patrick’s first legendary battle with the devil’s mother and a flock of demon birds. An ancient pilgrim path, the route is said to date back to pagan times. One possible clue to the route’s pre-Christian origin is a large boulder at Boheh known as St Patrick’s Chair, decorated with small circular hollows and probably dating from the Bronze Age. Every year hundreds of pilgrims walk Tóchar Phádraig and thousands more climb up the holy mountain, especially on the last Sunday in July.
