Killybegs, Ireland - 5 of 5 The COAST

Donegal Wild Atlantic Way
Donegal's Wild Atlantic Way is a 300 mile (we drove about 50 of them) driving route that takes you though some of Ireland's most beautiful and unspoiled landscapes. We went specifically to the Sliabh Liag Cliffs (pronounced Slieve League). They maintain the wildness, ruggedness and isolation that other Irish high cliffs sites have somewhat lost. Rising from the Atlantic they reach a height of 1,972ft. From this Signature Point we had some incredible views. Some we saw do the ‘One Man’s Path’, at the cliffs summit,

There we saw Benbulben, a flat, table topped mountain a part of the Dartry Mountains. The mountain is steeped in Irish mythology and is also associated with the poet W.B. Yeats, who is buried at its base.

On the way back we saw the Trawlers, fishing boats that include the Atlantic dawn, the largest crawler in the world. They have limited time less than 3 months a year but catch millions of fish a day!
