County Sligo has it all; a wild coastline that makes it a surfing hot spot, incredible hikes through landscapes that inspired poet WB Yeats, quirky markets and a starring role in the hit TV show, Normal People. A great way to experience this north west wonder is to base yourself in the walkable Sligo town, with its galleries, cafés, shops and easy access to the coast. And, when you’re ready to see something new, Carrick-on-Shannon in County Leitrim is just a train journey away.
Known as the cruising capital on the River Shannon, Carrick-on-Shannon is a lovely market town popular with locals and tourists alike thanks to its buzzing atmosphere, vibrant art scene and large marina that practically begs you to get on the water.
Go mbeidh an fórsa leat! — May the force be with you!

Garavogue River in Sligo town, County Sligo
You could spend a significant amount of time in Sligo given how much there is to see here. But if you only have a morning, start it with a stroll along the Garavogue River on Rockwood Parade. Enjoy your morning coffee and freshly-made scone at one of the waterside tables of the Osta Café and Wine Bar, and take in your surroundings.
Walk over to The Model; a contemporary arts centre in a beautiful stone building that hosts a lively programme of visual and performing arts. The Model is also home to the Niland Collection, started by artist Jack B Yeats when he gifted a painting to the Sligo Corporation in 1954. Each year, six curated exhibitions from the Niland Collection are shown, so you can keep coming back to see something new.
For history visit the ruins of Sligo Abbey – a major landmark of the town since it was founded in the mid-thirteenth century. Sections of the church, sacristy and chapterhouse still stand, sheathed in stories of fire, siege and cholera. Explore the remains and admire the sculptures from the Gothic and Renaissance periods, the Cloister arcade and the sculptured high altar from the 15th century.
Hooked Restaurant in Sligo town
If you’re staying longer in Sligo, take the time to enjoy the delicious cuisine on offer. Eala Bhán offers some of the tastiest seasonal dishes using locally sourced ingredients. Another foodie spot not to be missed is Walker 1781. Try their Guinness and leek sausage pizza and you’ll know what they mean by “traditional, local produce with a contemporary twist”. If being on the Wild Atlantic Way has you craving something from the sea, head to Hooked Restaurant for lowkey, delicious all-day dining.
