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...

Drumcliffe Church & W. B Yeat's Grave

👍 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...

Slishwood Forest
Country park
👍👍 Absolutely love Slishwood. You arrive to a big carpark. As you drive in there is a walk to the right, this one is short and abruptly ends so not my favourite. To the left you have the choice of 2 walks. A forest loop walk and an amazing board walk overlooking Lough Gill and leads on to the Lake...
