Murrisk
Murrisk (Irish: Muraisc, meaning 'sea marsh') is a village in County Mayo, Ireland, on the south side of Clew Bay, about 8 km west of Westport and 4 km east of Lecanvey. Murrisk lies at the foot of Croagh Patrick and is the starting-point for pilgrims who visit the mountain. Every year, on the last Sunday of July, thousands of people converge on the village to make the pilgrimage. There is a small interpretive centre in the village, which focuses on Croagh Patrick. The name is also used for the entire district south to the fjord of Killary Harbour. This barony runs from Westport and also includes Louisburgh and Lecanvey; there is also at least one abandoned village, Uggool, situated above Uggool Beach.
