There's a mountain called Croagh Patrick in County Mayo where, by legend, Patrick spent 40 days and nights fasting and praying for the conversion of Ireland to Christianity. There are ruins of a shack. As far as distance, I could only find that it took someone a little more than three hours to climb the steep mountain to the top. It is a beautiful place to see.

St. Patrick was not from Ireland. He came from another country, possibly Scotland or England or even France, and brought Christianity to Ireland when he came. He is buried in Ireland and is the patron saint of Ireland.
It is a place of pilgrimage associated with St. Patrick, because it is said he fasted for 40 days there. On what is known as Reek Sunday each year, which is the last Sunday in July, people climb the mountain and have mass there.
