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.
Our first stop on the tour is at Carrowkeel a series of stone age tombs dating from more than 5, 000 years ago. Following from that we will visit Sligo town to hear how W B Yeats was influenced by his visits here. On our way to Lissadell House we will visit the grave of Yeats in Drumcliffe church. We will visit Streedagh Beach where you will hear stories of the Spanish Armada. The scenic fishing village of Mullaghmore is next with stories of the murder of Lord Louis Mountbatten. After lunch we will head along Lough Mervin for a visit to the gorgeous Glencar Waterfall. A stop to see the location and a recitation of Yeat's poem Lake Isle of Inishfree before returning to your hotel full of stories and anecdotes. If there are any other items of particular interest please let me know and I can include them in the itinerary.
