Sligo

Ireland

Sligo sits where the Garavogue River meets the Atlantic, with Ben Bulben's flat limestone peak looming to the north and Knocknarea's ancient cairn crowning the southern hills. The N4 connects this town of 20,600 to Dublin in three hours, while regional routes link to Galway, Westport, and Belfast. As the heart of Yeats Country, Sligo draws literary pilgrims to explore the landscapes that shaped Ireland's greatest poet, who rests in Drumcliffe churchyard beneath Ben Bulben with his famous epitaph carved in stone.
