Why stay in Sligo

Sligo — Yeats Country & Surf Coast

Sligo was WB Yeats's spiritual home — his grave is in Drumcliff churchyard in the shadow of Benbulben's flat-topped mountain, and the County Sligo landscape appears in over 100 of his poems. Strandhill is one of Ireland's best intermediate surf beaches. Enniscrone has a Victorian seaweed bath house operating continuously since 1912. Carrowmore is Ireland's largest megalithic cemetery with over 60 monuments dating from 3700 BC.
