Knock is a small town in County Mayo, Ireland and is famed for the Knock Shrine where it is said that the Virgin Mary, together with St Joseph and St John the Baptist appeared in 1879. Since then it has become one of Europe's important Catholic Marian shrines, alongside Lourdes and Fatima. It has been visited by Pope John Paul II in 1979 to commemorate the centenary of the apparition.

The town of Knock itself is a small rural town that has grown to cater for the many tourists. The focal point of the town is the Knock Shrine and this is what attracts thousands of pilgrims every year. The Basilica of Our Lady Queen of Ireland is by far the most impressive building. On a busy day, crowds of people can be seen doing the ‘Stations of the Cross’ on the Knock Shrine Calvary, or in the Church of the Apparition if the famous Irish weather turns bad.

Knock is not famous for its lively pubs or beautiful landscape and its appeal is of a religious nature. Nevertheless if you’re travelling through the west of Ireland it can be an interesting stop along the way so reserve cheap car hire in Knock here today.
