Benbulbin

A 526 m table mountain above the Sligo country, with a flat top and a single sheer face — the mountain Yeats asked to be buried beneath, and the signature walk of the county.

Free — an open mountain, with no entrance charge and no waymarked trail; the route from Strandhill is well known and obvious on the ground.· Reserveer A full day from Strandhill

Bezienswaardigheid · Co. Sligo

Clooney More

A headland on the north coast of Sligo Bay and one of the best-known surf spots in Ireland — a place we describe here without a precise map, because the headland and its dunes are fragile and the land is not all public.

Free to view from the road.· Reserveer An hour or two from the road.
Bouwstuk · Co. Sligo

Drumcliff

The village on the N15 eight km north of Sligo where W. B. Yeats is buried in the churchyard of St. Columba’s, at the foot of Benbulbin, under an epitaph of his own writing.

Free. The churchyard is a working burial ground — the visit is quiet, and the coffee shop operates on its own hours.
Streek · Co. Sligo

Lough Gill

The lake west of Sligo town, with Benbulbin on its north shore and the island of Innisfree — the one from Yeats’s “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” — in the middle of the water.

The lake and the shore walks are free. Boat launches are available at the lakeside points (seasonal — check before travelling).
Neus · Co. Sligo

Sligo Head

The headland at the west end of Strandhill, where the coast turns: a car park on the cliff top, a short walk, and the 1835 Blackrock lighthouse — the only lighthouse in Ireland with an external staircase.

Free. The car park and the lighthouse are uncharged — the old lighthouse is a working aid to navigation and cannot be entered.
Dorp · Co. Sligo

Strandhill

The surf village on the north shore of Carribbeg Sound, eight km from Sligo town: one of the best beach breaks in Ireland, a 200-year-old thatched cottage, and the start of the Benbulbin walk.

Free — the beach, the village and the walks cost nothing. Surf lessons run from about €40 per person for a group class; the seaweed baths are a separate charge.
Streek · Co. Sligo

The Sligo Loop

A self-drive circuit around the Sligo country, starting and ending in Sligo town: Drumcliff, Benbulbin, Glencar, Lough Gill and Strandhill — the whole of Yeats country in a day.

Free — a public-road circuit. The stops on the loop (the churchyard, the beach, the walks) are free or cheap in their own right.· Reserveer A full day (about four hours of driving, plus the stops)
