17 Photos To Show Just How Heartbreakingly Beautiful Sligo Really Is

A haven for all kinds of explorers, whether you're more keen to stay on dry land or want to dive into the briny deep, Sligo is so much more than your average seaside county.

Boasting an impressive stretch of the longest coastal driving route in the world, The Wild Atlantic Way, you know you're getting your money's worth when you decide to take a trip to Yeats Country.

Here's why.

1. Because the views could even tame The Wild Atlantic Way

2. Because the houses look like this

3. The whole county is built on the lyrical brilliance of Yeats

With reference to his genius dotted everywhere.

4. Because it looks like this on a sunny day...

5. ...and like this when it's cloudy

Ugh, why on Earth would you do it to yourself?

6. Oh, and don't forget rain

Cause, y'know. Ireland.

7. Holiday homes look like this

12. Or an evening meander

We didn't want to limit you.
