Horan International Airport or Ireland West Airport is located just outside the town of Knock in Co Mayo in the West of Ireland. The town of Knock is recognised throughout the world as a place of pilgrimage and thousands of visitors flock to Knock Shrine annually after locals reported seeing the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph and St. John the Evangelist at their parish church in August 1879.
Hiring a car from Hertz at Horan International Airport will give you the freedom to visit Knock Shrine in at your own leisure or drive to the foot of Craogh Patrick and then climb to its peak to see the spectacular views from one of the highest points in the West of Ireland.Some areas of Co Mayo are quiet remote so car hire is nearly a necessity in order to scope out the hidden gems waiting to be uncovered.
