Sligo area (Ireland)

Copyright © noel.moore@gmail.com All comments and questions are welcome.

Beautiful Glencar Lough near our 'Sligo BandB'. It is a Glacial lake of 2.5kM length.

 

And the near by Glencar Waterfall that empties into the Lough (Lake).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are fantastic granite features in the area which were part of the attraction for Lord Louis Mountbatten, who was killed with 3 others a few kM away from here by an IRA bomb during the 'troubles'; in 1979.

 

 

 

The bottom photo is the view from the breakfast room of our BandB. It is amazing how far up the steep slops they graze sheep.

The BandB is also close to the church yard where Yeats is buried, and where Charles and Camilla planted a tree last month during their historic visit to Ireland.
