I know Mark Capilitan is based in Sligo for one…so if he is around he might be able to give you some local tips Ciara.

If not..you could always look up yer woman Aine from the Podge and Rodge show (and Boards.ie fame)..she seems to be well familiar with Sligo’s scenic charms… :wink:

Hi Ciara, these are a few scenic places in Sligo I know from my own experience:
Anywhere in Glencar (including the waterfall),
Benbulben and Kings Mountain from all sides,
Knocknaree,
take a trip around Lough Gill (lots of great spots there),
Carrowmore megalithic cemetary
Mullaghmore and Mulaghmore Head

Good luck,
Hauke

There’s a bird of prey centre there that I’d love to visit. Only one I know of in the country.
