Its easily found from the main road and a great place to wander at your own pace. Lots of people available to answer your questions and give information if required. Great cafe.

Your time is your own here at Knock Shrine. Ideally, you should allow a few hours if you wish to attend one of the ceremonies as well as visiting the grounds and our churches. Knock Museum is also open 7 days a week and the audio tour takes approximately 30 mins. You can also avail of a self guided audio tour which you take at your leisure.

About a 10.min drive

You can get train that takes you to Claremorris, then Taxi to Knock

Yes, there is an on-site cafe as well as numerous eateries nearby

Hi Jackie, yes the Shrine is open all year, however the Parish Church and Apparition Chapel are closed for refurbishments. Masses and other services will continue as normal during this time. You can view Mass times and opening hours on the Knock Shrine website (apologies this site will not allow me to paste direct link). Thank you,

I have no idea. It's a very wide open mostly flat site. I imagine only guide dogs would be allowed inside the chapels.

Hello there, I imagine that your two senior travelers will have travel passes. This makes everything so much easier. I would be inclined to take a train from Houston Station to Claremorris. A taxi from there would bring you straight to Knock. If you were to stay overnight in Knock House Hotel, I think they might even collect people from the train. Blessings on your pilgrimage, Suzanne

There's a hotel in Knock itself (not child friendly). Otherwise Claremorris (12 minutes). The airport is about 20km from Knock.
