For W.B. Yeats, Sligo was ‘the land of heart’s desire’. The renowned writer spent childhood summers on these beautiful shores, inspiring his poems ‘Under Ben
Bulben’ and ‘The Lake Isle of Innisfree’. Sligo is a land of great poetry. She is a land of
great legends. But above all she is a land of great adventure. Her mountains and waves welcome strangers upon their backs to journey along the Wild Atlantic Way.
