Sights & Attractions in The Northwest

Northwest Sights

This outlines three autonomous routes through Northwest Ireland. These routes can easily be linked if you want to poke around the area over five or so days. The first journey begins in Sligo Town and covers its immediate environs—all the major sights, many of which have strong associations with the Yeatses, are within a roughly 24-km (15-mi) radius. The second trip skirts the entirety of Donegal Bay, from Mullaghmore in the south to Gleann Cholm Cille (Glencolumbkille) to the far north and west, before heading inland as far as Ard an Ratha (Ardara). The last route begins at the other end of Donegal, in Letterkenny, and travels to magical Glenveagh National Park.
