Sligo is also the home of the famous poet WB Yeats, who drew inspiration from the scenery and legends of this region. You can follow his footsteps and explore the places that influenced his poetry, such as the majestic Benbulben mountain, the tranquil Lough Gill, and the mystical Carrowmore megalithic cemetery. Sligo is also a paradise for surfers and water sports lovers, who can enjoy some of the best waves in Europe at beaches like Mullaghmore, Rosses Point, and Easkey. Whether you want to relax, learn, or thrill, Sligo has something for everyone.
