Carrick-on-Shannon

Superb Sligo - Private Tour of WB Yeats Country and More

William Butler Yeats won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1923. His mother came from County Sligo. He spent a lot of his childhood and ultimately requested, in one of his poems, to be buried there.

While this tour highlights locations associated with the poet, there is so much more to see. The tour includes legends of Irish queens, stories of stone age farmers, a romantic castle and a sad assassination. A recitation of one of Yeats' poems is included for your entertainment. Magnificent mountains and delightful dales created during the ice age contrast with beautiful beaches and super sea views along the Wild Atlantic Way. Lots of opportunities for fantastic photographs and a stop for a tasty lunch.

All in all, a great day tour with lots of variety for the culturally curious.
