Put on your walking shoes

The countryside around Sligo town is steeped in history from the ancient and easily accessable Carrowmore Megalithic ruins to the poetic sites of Yeats' poetry to reminders of Irish Indepence. Something for everyone. Maeve's tomb looms over the landscape, and every hill has a story. From the window of my room at a B&B near town, I saw the ring forts and crannogs, Ben Bulben and the signs pointing to castles and stately homes. You can take the easy way and stop for tea at Drumcliff, or hike to your heart's content over the looming hills. March is a slow time, not everything is open for casual tourists, but prices are lower and the atmosphere is quieter. Take a few minutes to collect information on the area before you go, or just follow the signs. Wear walking shoes.
