👍 Amazing scenery. The loop is 10km and easy to do for kids if they are used to walking. If you park at the mill, then I recommend walking anti clockwise, start down the hill from there, left at the junction, then left again pass the bridge and loop around. Going this way children will have smaller hi...

Rosses Point Beach
Public beach
👍👍 Beautiful beach with stunning views of the Atlantic and Benbulben. Water stays shallow for quite far out so safe swimming is guaranteed if you follow the tide guide posted at the end of the steps down to the beach. Would benefit from having a changing facility for folks who value privacy, but otherw...

👍👍 This was a definite highlight of my trip to Ireland. Martin was a joy to listen to. Very much the Irish storyteller and his sense of humor was delightful. His dog, Joe, stole the show while herding the sheep. It really was a much needed and welcome reprieve from the sobering history of this wonderfu...

👍👍 Excellent mini hike, quite tough in places. Make sure to read the signs...If you can't see the waterfall from the Car Park then it's dry. Still a nice hike and views of the lake.

👍👍 The Championship course at CSGC is a spectacular, challenging layout that is beautifully maintained and a true pleasure to play. Our forecaddy Danny was a young gentlemen and helped our foursome’s enjoyment of the course immensely, helping to lower our scores and find our errant shots (of which ther...

Drumcliffe Church & W. B Yeat's Grave
Tourist attraction
👍 I wandered lonely as a tourist. After a look around the graveyard I had to ask Rev Malcolm where the main man's grave was. Very understated located just to the left of the door into the church. Buried with his wife and in full view of Benbulbin. Nice little coffee shop in site too, busy but quick tu...

Luke's Bridge (start of Benbulbin walk)
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Nice hike to the top of Ben Bulben. From Luke's bridge it took us 1h 35 min to the very top. We then walked further to the end of the mountain, this took us another 25 min, so in total 2 hours. Our way back home from this point took us 1,5 hours to the parking lot. So in total expect around 3,5 hour...

👍👍 Beautiful quiet beach, 20 minutes or so the far side of Sligo, there isn't a lifeguard on duty but there are lots of ring bouys. There is a nice area for parking, and there were lots of camper vans parked up. The only down side is there aren't any services like toilets or a coffee shop or convenienc...
