Teach Na Miasa - Croagh Patrick Visitor Centre

The Croagh Patrick Visitor Centre, Teach na Miasa, is situated in Murrisk on the Pilgrim's path at the base of Croagh Patrick mountain and opposite the National Famine Monument. The Walsh family, who run Teach na Miasa, aim to provide for the needs of pilgrims, climbers, archaeologists and nature lovers who visit this beautiful part of Ireland. Teach na Miasa means the house of the dishes. The road on which the centre is built is known as 'Bóthar na Miasa' ( ' The road of the dishes ' ) and it is reputed that the monks of nearby Murrisk Abbey washed their utensils in the stream which runs alongside. Call into the Centre for information on the history and archaeology of The Holy Mountain.
