On This Page:Sligo and Yeats Country Travel Guide
Sligo Town (pop. 18,000) is a thriving farm town on the south side of the River Garavogue, surrounded on three sides by mountains, the most famous of which are Ben Bulben to the north and Knocknarea to the south. A gray and somber town, with a mix of historic and less interesting modern architecture, Sligo is in the midst of a major renaissance. Roughly half of the town center has been refurbished in the past 9 years and work is still underway. From a visitor's perspective, the focus of this radical rejuvenation has been Sligo's new "Left Bank," where cafes and restaurants spill onto the waterfront promenade whenever weather permits. It will also affect you in terms of driving, as construction closes streets and requires confusing roadway diversions, but it's a small enough place that it's really impossible to be lost for long.
