Knock flights
Knock flights arrive in a location that is famed for being the site of miracles and visions; the Irish equivalent of Lourdes. The area also has some stunning scenery and is a convenient place to begin an exploration of western Ireland, so flights to Knock are a perfect beginning to a varied and interesting holiday.
Just an hour's flight from the UK mainland, Knock is a scenic location with mainly religious places of interest. These include Ballintubber Abbey, which is the only Irish church that was originally founded by an Irish king and yet remains in use. In Knock itself are the Basilica of Our Lady, Queen of Ireland, which can seat 14000 people, and the Church of the Apparition, built at the site where the 1896 visions were seen.
This small and quite ordinary village has become a worldwide phenomenon, but it still remains a peaceful and rather sweet place to visit. There is a Folk Museum that provides the history of the apparitions, and also describes life in the 1890s as it was when they occurred. But the bigger picture is that Knock is Ireland's North West Airport, and thus a gateway to much more than this religious focal point set in some stunning countryside.
Cheap flights to Knock are best sourced using our price comparison facility, bearing in mind that flight prices will rise in the summer months, making a cheap flight unlikely. Always book flights well in advance at this time.
