County Sligo Travel Forum

I see nothing about the Gentry on any of the postings? Ben Bulben and Ross Pt. are associated with Them. Any locals or tourists have experience of Them?

Can anyone recommend a hotel or B&B in Sligo that is not too far from the train station? (Unless the train station is in a dreadful part of town that you'd discourage staying in.) Main concerns are something accessible to my 93-year-old mom who uses a push walker and can't do a lot of stairs at one time. Did you have occasion to use either taxi or bus from the station to the hotel or B&B? Do you recall the approximate cost?

Hi!
I'm interested in visit Sligo this summer with child and I want more information about Gillighan’s World, it seems a nice option for my nieces. Is a good place?

Thank you in advance for your replays.

Going to Co. Sligo for three weeks this summer.I am an assistant to a writer and we will be doing research for a book while there. Where do you suggest we stay? We can stay anywhere in Co Sligo. Ideally, we would like to stay in a house in a village center where we can walk to eat, to a pub. We are open to all accommodations that offer comofort and have charm.

I am a confused Yank whose wife has McGowan roots in the Barney area, near both Cloughboley and Ballyconnell, in something called Ballinfull. I understand that Barney is served by the Cloughboley PO. What exactly is "Barney"? A hamlet? A townland? A civil Parish? And what other POs serve the peninsula that consists of an area shown as Drumcliff on some maps (not the town or village of Drumcliff, which holds the remains of William B. Yeats)? And finally, what PO delivers the mail to Dunleavy's Market and to Ellen's Pub and to the immedaite area around the Carrigans cemetery? Help!!!!

My husband and I will be visiting Ireland August 20 to Sept. 2. We will have a free day on August 22 in Sligo. My gggrandfather, Patrick McGuire, was from Moylough, Sligo and my gggrandmouther, Catherine Niland, was from Doocastle, Mayo. I would very much like to visit these towns. Can any one tell me the best way to get there from Sligo City? Is there a bus? taxi? rental car? Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Susan Lockwood

Hi there!
I am going to Strandhill in my next holidays (in 2 weeks) and I want to know if maybe someone of you has a MAP where I can see the roads and everything? This would he a huge help for me (as I am always getting lost *lol*).
Hope someone of you can help me with that... I would really appreciate it. Thanx in advance, Julia

My husband and I have rented a cottage in Easkey for our base as we explore the coast. I can't find much information on the town except that it's well known for surfing. We also plan on getting up to Killybegs since this is where my ancestors Derry's are from and would love any information on the area from those who have traveled or live there. Thanks!
