The Devils Bit Loop is free for all users
A charming legend holds that a fleeing demon, being pursued over Devil’s Bit Mountain by  St Patrick, created the unmistakable notch in this otherwise flat topped eminence by taking an angry bite from its summit and later dropping it to form the Rock of Cashel. Unfortunately, for mythology buffs, the Devil's Bit is entirely sandstone while the Rock of Cashel is a limestone outcrop! 
The loop walk on Devil’s Bit Mountain offers a moderate and charming outing with inspiring views and abundant other genuine historic resonances.
