Crough Padraig or Mt. Patrick is the imposing volcano cone dominating the Westport skyline in the upper NW corner of Ireland, in Co. Mayo. This is the place where St. Patrick went for his 40 days fast before beginning converting the Irish to Christianity. Many people still come here on pilgrimmage and as rough as the terrain is, covered in sharp rocks and scree, many walk to the summit barefoot.
There is a power here, the mountain is sudden and strong as is the weather that always surrounds it. It is not high, or even that imposing, but it does impress.
