The town of Sligo, in the north-west of Ireland, is known for its literary heritage and rugged countryside. Of interest are the ruins of medieval Sligo Abbey that contain carved tombs and a 15th-century altar. Also worth a visit is the Sligo County Museum, which displays memorabilia of local poet W.B. Yeats as well as Stone Age artefacts from the area. Rosses Point peninsula is a haven of golden sand that features some of the best surfing in the world. Head over to Knocknarea and hike the hill to discover the tomb of the mythical Irish Queen Maeve. Those who manage to reach the summit are rewarded with panoramic views of this beautiful county.
