Seven Photos That Prove That Sligo Is The Most Underrated County In Ireland

Let’s set the scene – your foreign friend is coming to visit the stunning Emerald Isle and they want suggestions, where do you advise?

Let me guess…

Dublin? Galway? Dingle? The Cliffs Of Moher?

These are all stunning spots for sure but there is one county in particular that seems to slip under the radar.

Sligo is one of the most stunning counties in Ireland, I only discovered this during the year myself.

Here’s seven pictures to prove exactly that:

This sculpture “Waiting on Shore” stands facing the ocean in a village called Rosses Point. It’s dedicated to all of those who have lost their lives at sea and also to the women in the village who watched and waited the return of thier men.
