Introduction
Wild and poetic, Sligo is a landscape that could have sprung directly from the verses of W.B. Yeats. Dominated by the unmistakable silhouette of Benbulben mountain, this northwestern county is a raw, untamed canvas of geological drama and mythical resonance. Knocknarea rises with the ancient megalithic tomb of Queen Maeve. Carrowmore, one of Ireland's oldest and largest megalithic cemeteries, offers a profound connection to the island's prehistoric roots. Beyond its archaeological wonders, Sligo town pulses with a creative energy, its streets alive with arts and literary heritage.
