Slieve League

On Monday I finally got to Slieve League in County Donegal.  I’ve heard a lot about it but never actually got there before.

I saw a carpark with portaloos and there was a closed gate leading up to the cliffs so I presumed you couldn’t drive any further and parked the car.  I ended walking the rest of the way and saw buses and cars driving up, I’ll know better if I go back again.

It was nice walking along with just the sheep for company though, very peaceful until I got to the parking area near the top of the cliffs and saw all the tourists.

The two photos above really remind me of something out of Father Ted.

On the way back from the cliffs I stopped off at Ti Linn which is a lovely craft and coffee shop.  I had a well-earned scone and coffee…which was very nice and would have been nicer if the cream didn’t taste of onions!!

After my break I drove a bit further and stopped by this lovely river.

I had a really nice day out, it’s a very scenic place. I’m not keen on the roads though (who knew it was possible to feel car sick when you are driving!!) The rest of my photos are here.
