And later, down on the Strandhill beachfront, the fish cakes of the Strand Bar, followed by the spectacular ice-cream of Mammy Johnson’s, were magical for us too. There are several trails leading to its top where the Queen is buried and due to its flat summit, you can easily spend the whole day taking in panoramic views. Aiva xxxThank you for my virtual trip to Sligo, Aiva! All the best! We always try to visit mountains first thing in the morning 9( it can be challenging in summer months) or wait for sunset. Sit awhile here and watch the slow roll of the famous Strandhill surfing waves and just take in the vista of Rosses Point, Ben Bulben and, away to the north, the long line of Slieve League across Donegal Bay. Oh my Aiva! Aiva xxxWhat an incredible looking walk, those photos are just stunning!There are many amazing places we can escape the crowds in Ireland and Knocknarea is one of them. Instead of bemoaning the things you can no see, celebrate the ones you can. Queen Maeve’s Trail, in Strandhill, Co Sligo, is a special place made sacred by our Stone Age ancestors, and mythologised by their Iron Age descendants – and by a modern poetQueen Maeve’s Trail boasts one of the best-situated benches in the northwest, offering spectacular views of Strandhill’s famous surfing waves, Rosses Point and Ben BulbenSo pass up on chasing the little white ball or the big white wave, and take this trail to visit Maeve’s supposed burial site is described in the excellent panels for this trail and area as a place “where land meets sky”, or more poetically by WB Yeats in “The wind has bundled up the clouds high over KnocknareaAnd thrown the thunder on the stones for all that Maeve can say.”These stones were gathered together more than 5,000 years ago; in the meantime they have felt that one-in-5,000-year storm and, saving another over-topping new ice sheet, they will grace that hill for many, many more thousands of years. The Queen Maeve Trail is developed by Sligo County Council, financed through EU Interreg Iva Border Uplands Project led by ICBAN, with support from landowners, Coillte and supporting agencies making the project possible.

AivaYou’ll find many beautiful and clean beaches while exploring Sligo and its surroundings. Thank you.Thank you very much, Ali! And as your first paragraph says, me in my 38 years of age, haven’t discovered anything so peaceful and wonderful as simply being on the trail. We may have stopped quite a lot on the way up to catch our breath and to take photos, but watching the fleeting sun, I suddenly realised that being in nature makes my heart full and my head clear.I loved the effort of hiking, reaching the top of a mountain for rewarding views, and eating a healthy picnic in celebration.Ever since that day, I discovered my passion for hiking and when beckoning of the mountains grow louder, we pack our adventure gear and head towards the Knocknarea Mountain, located within a short drive from our home.With all the uncertainty surrounding the world of travel in current times, more and more people are looking for a secure way to take a vacation. Thanks for sharing! AivaYou ser so right Aiva, its the same story of finding happiness…we will also be exploring our own País Valenciá this summer as we will not be journeying out of Spain.
