“The Land of Heart’s Desire” by one of Ireland’s most beloved poets.
Perched on the Wild Atlantic Way, with the coast to the west and lush lakelands to the east, Sligo town is the gateway to every Irish experience you could desire. If you want to return, visit historic Lissadell, elegant Coopershill or the magnificent Temple House. All three are waiting to transport you through Sligo’s stories. The town buzzes year-round, with festivals celebrating country music, sea shanties, surfing, and literature. Cairde Sligo Arts Festival (July) and Sligo Live (October) are the ones to watch for.
